Spectators: 7542 (Terracing: 5658, Seating: 1734, VIP seats: 150) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Markus Kleen got the match started through his kick off. 5 minutes had been played when some careless play by Mönsterås RK's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Karl-Axel Bocklund was slow to take the kick. During this time Billingsfors BK's players had a chance to rest. After taking down the ball on Billingsfors BK's corner Karl-Axel Bocklund fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Peter Lundström quite easily take care of the ball. In the 9th minute of the match Mönsterås RK got a corner. Billingsfors BK's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Markus Kleen ran over to the corner to take the kick. The supporters of Mönsterås RK booed when Billingsfors BK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Thor Lindblom didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 21st minute, Rudolf Lindman hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Peter Lundström stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Jens-Erik Backlund's shot from short distance in the 22nd minute. Mönsterås RK's Rudolf Lindman quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Robert Lindblom, made in the 35th minute of the game. 38 minutes into the match, Mönsterås RK's goal looked a bit too open when Jens-Erik Backlund came free, but Peter Lundström reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ian Lundhberg sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Leo Granström fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Peter Lundström having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Jens-Erik Backlund to make the kick off. When Ian Lundhberg came up free with the goalie in the 51st minute, the Mönsterås RK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ian Lundhberg couldn't finish the play. Christoffer Arvidsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 67th minute, Jens-Erik Backlund managed to get in a good position for a shot. Billingsfors BK's supporters rose to their feet, but Jens-Erik Backlund was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Peter Lundström breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Billingsfors BK made a substitution. Jimmie Ingvall replaced Valdemar Anundsson. The supporters of Billingsfors BK booed when Mönsterås RK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Christoffer Arvidsson didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 73rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Mönsterås RK's goalkeeper Peter Lundström, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Christoffer Arvidsson kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. Christoffer Arvidsson was shown his second yellow card after 77 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. In the 78th match minute, Mönsterås RK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Christoffer Arvidsson to maneuver through the defense. Jens-Erik Backlund might have been able to make a better finish in the 79th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Peter Lundström. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jens-Erik Backlund ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 84th minute, Ian Lundhberg hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 85th minute, Tony Childs 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. Stig Pedersson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Despite being the better team, Billingsfors BK failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
