Målilla
Spectators: 6677 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1667, VIP seats: 10) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Henry Bank made the kick off which started today's match. 6 minutes into the match, Henry Bank notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Målilla's Lennart Levander. Lennart Levander was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 11th play minute Richard Larsson came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Ulf Helström. 1-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alexander Hermansson in the 15th minute of play forced Tierp FF's goalkeeper Ulf Helström to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Melker Lund sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 19th minute, Jan Britz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alf Utfal took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 20th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Lennart Levander. Målilla's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Lennart Levander made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Henry Bank in the 24th minute of play. Sebastian Törnqvist kicked well hit freekick during the 30th minute of the match. Lennart Levander took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Henry Bank, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 37 minutes into the match, Henry Bank had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lennart Levander. Målilla's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Henry Bank was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. After 40 minutes, Sebastian Törnqvist mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tierp FF and the Målilla players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 40th match minute, Tierp FF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sebastian Törnqvist to maneuver through the defense. In the 41st minute Edvard Nyman suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. After a rather tough play, Målilla's Svante Askestät got a free kick in the 43rd minute. After having played for 46 minutes, Melker Lund managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tierp FF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Melker Lund was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The Målilla players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Tierp FF were winning 1-2.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Alexander Hermansson was the one to do the kick off. Richard Larsson struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Ulf Helström didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Målilla. Richard Larsson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Ulf Helström tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ulf Helström showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alexander Hermansson, who was totally free with the ball in the 65th minute. 70 minutes into the game, Kasper Andberg was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tierp FF's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Målilla the free kick. Jan Britz was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 71st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The supporters of Målilla booed when Tierp FF was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Henry Bank didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Ulrik Tidéksson fell near the penalty area in the 85th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Målilla's protests and gave Ulrik Tidéksson a yellow card for diving instead. Ulrik Tidéksson hit a great freekick 85 minutes into the match. If Melker Lund had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Henry Bank struck a weak shot in the 89th minute. Lennart Levander didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tierp FF. When Melker Lund came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Tierp FF 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 Melker Lund couldn't finish the play. In the 93rd minute, Richard Larsson 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. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Tierp FF had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
