Torsten Sjögren took the ball and in the 54 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Vilgot Bergström.

After 61 minutes, Gustaf Lindsten mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Pepsi BK and the Lesjöfors players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 61st minute, one of Pepsi BK:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Pepsi BK. 75 minutes into the match, Pepsi BK's Michel Apelkvist sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Vilgot Bergström narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
