Värnamo's Pål Boman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Elliott Bredberg in the 7th minute of play. When Alex Lidström came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Köping 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 Alex Lidström couldn't finish the play. Stig Ekeberg's late challenge caught a Köping's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Stig Ekeberg helped the player get up and apologised. Stig Ekeberg kicked well hit freekick during the 14th minute of the match. Pål Boman showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alex Lidström, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. 20 minutes into the match, Adrian Brander notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Värnamo's Pål Boman. Pål Boman was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 25 minutes into the match, Alex Lidström had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Pål Boman. Värnamo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alex Lidström was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Adrian Brander blasted a shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Pål Boman having to make a save. After 33 minutes, Adrian Brander made it 0-3 with a short kick to the right side. Värnamo's Pål Boman tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After some fancy dribbling in the 35th minute, Adrian Brander managed to get in a good position for a shot. Köping's supporters rose to their feet, but Adrian Brander was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Pål Boman breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Alex Lidström 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. Värnamo's Pål Boman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Adrian Brander in the 42nd minute of play. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.
The wind increased when Alex Lidström made the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the game, Adrian Brander cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-4. Pål Boman was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. If Adrian Brander had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Köping's Adrian Brander in the 60th minute got a chance for a shot 60th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Värnamo's goalie prevented a goal. Alex Lidström struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Pål Boman didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Köping. In the 68th minute, Värnamo's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Alex Lidström fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. 71 minutes into the match, Alex Lidström notched a goal, 0-6, to the right of Värnamo's Pål Boman.

After having played for 77 minutes, Adrian Brander managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Köping's supporters crossed their fingers, but Adrian Brander was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Pål Boman didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 80th minute, which inside left pole to 0-7. 85 minutes into the match, Köping's goal looked a bit too open when Viktor Möllgren came free, but Jens Bohlin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Alex Lidström came free with the goalkeeper in the 88th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Pål Boman could save by the left post. In the 92nd minute, Ian Kvalfält hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 93rd minute of the match Andreas Vibjörnsson shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Jens Bohlin showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. When the final whistle sounded Köping left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Värnamo.
