Ragnar Wickander dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. After a rather tough play, Munkfors IK's Frans Beckeman got a free kick in the 11th minute. Joel Högström received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 15th minute.

Tobias Lund fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ragnar Wickander having to interfere. 19 minutes into the match, NAJS's goal looked a bit too open when Tobias Lund came free, but Ragnar Wickander reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Conny Stenkvist stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Jonathan Alfors's shot from short distance in the 21st minute. After a defensive mix-up in Munkfors IK's zone, Göran Backlund stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

The NAJS fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-3.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Jonathan Alfors to make the kick off. Tobias Lund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Ragnar Wickander tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Ragnar Wickander was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Joel Högström recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 83rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Göran Backlund had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 89th minute, Joel Högström 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. An unexpectedly hard shot by Joel Högström in the 93rd minute of play forced NAJS's goalkeeper Ragnar Wickander to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jonathan Alfors sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
