Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Björn Strandberg kicked off to start the match. Tage Hedlund fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alf Gerdberg having to interfere. In the 7th match minute, Denzashow was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Markus Rosendal to maneuver through the defense. Alf Gerdberg came out of the goal in the 7th minute to try and stop a shot by Klädesholmen's Markus Nyman. But to his dismay, Markus Nyman quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 17th play minute Björn Strandberg came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Elliot Bock. 1-1. Ivan Ekberg charged in rather forcefully in the 20th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ivan Ekberg the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Klädesholmen booed when Denzashow was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 20 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ivan Ekberg didn't get a good kick on the ball. Daniel Gullesson's long shot made the audience stand up and applaude when it rumbled by Alf Gerdberg on his right side and into the goal. 24 minutes into the game it was 1-2. The crowd rose to their feet as Denzashow's Baptiste Santamaria slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Elliot Bock. That made the score 2-2 after 31 minutes of play. Alf Gerdberg showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jan-Åke Beckeman, who was totally free with the ball in the 37th minute. When Björn Strandberg got free in front of the goal in the 43rd minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Elliot Bock was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. In the 46th minute Jan-Åke Beckeman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alf Gerdberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The first half was very even, with the score at 2-2 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jan-Åke Beckeman to strike the kick off in the second half. Jan-Åke Beckeman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Klädesholmen's Elliot Bock played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Baptiste Santamaria in the 53rd minute of play. Tage Hedlund's late challenge caught a Denzashow's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Tage Hedlund helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Denzashow booed when Klädesholmen was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tage Hedlund didn't get a good kick on the ball. 58 minutes into the match, Denzashow's goalkeeper Alf Gerdberg had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Filiph Bredberg. If Jan-Åke Beckeman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 75th minute, Tage Hedlund got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In a very dangerous position, a player in Denzashow fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 81st minute. Penalty! When the match had been going on for 83 minutes, Klädesholmen's Daniel Gullesson got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Alf Gerdberg. Klädesholmen's Tage Hedlund got a good chance for a goal in the 91st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Jan-Åke Beckeman's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alf Gerdberg read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 95th minute of play. Filiph Bredberg received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 97th minute. Alf Gerdberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Klädesholmen's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
