Spectators: 6761 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1741, VIP seats: 20) The audience was convinced that Nils-Emil Westerberg's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gösta Tönnberg was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. Gösta Tönnberg showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Martin Wennerquist in the 6th minute of the match.

Melker Dahlbom sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

In the 52nd minute, Karl Vall hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 57 minutes, Melker Dahlbom managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
