Blidsberg -vallen
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Erik Rolandsson started the match with the kick off. Roger Almqvist's late challenge caught a Blidsberg's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Roger Almqvist helped the player get up and apologised. After 5 played minutes Örns Glada Gubbar got a freekick which was hit by Roger Almqvist. In the 14th match minute, Örns Glada Gubbar was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Adam Torsberg to maneuver through the defense. 15 minutes into the match, Ingvar Walroth sent off a long shot that looked like it was going straight into the goal, but because Joseph Lindholm threw himself in his full length he managed to grip the ball by the left post, and there was no goal for Ingvar Walroth this time. Erik Rolandsson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paul Aronsson having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 23rd minute, Karl Hääger managed to get in a good position for a shot. Blidsberg's supporters rose to their feet, but Karl Hääger was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Joseph Lindholm breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Blidsberg's Andreas Bennet shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 27th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Joseph Lindholm but with some difficulty. Joseph Lindholm was out of position in the 34 minute of play, and Thor Karlberg capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Thor Karlberg really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. Erik Rolandsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After a defensive mix-up in Örns Glada Gubbar's zone, Karl Hääger stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joseph Lindholm came out of the goal and Karl Hääger tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 47th minute Thor Karlberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Joseph Lindholm saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The wind increased when Thor Karlberg made the kick off in the second half. 56 minutes into the game, Blidsberg's Thor Karlberg nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Joseph Lindholm made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-0. After a rather tough play, Örns Glada Gubbar's Erik Rolandsson got a free kick in the 61st minute. In the 65th minute, Roger Almqvist hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 66th minute, Karl Hääger ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Joseph Lindholm was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-0. 71 minutes into the game, Marcus Algren was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Blidsberg's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Örns Glada Gubbar the free kick. The supporters of Örns Glada Gubbar booed when Blidsberg was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marcus Algren didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 76 played minutes Örns Glada Gubbar got a freekick which was hit by Robin Duset. After 77 played minutes, Blidsberg's Ingvar Walroth shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Joseph Lindholm came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Blidsberg reached it. When Georg Lund fell near the penalty area in the 89th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Blidsberg's protests and gave Georg Lund a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Blidsberg getting a freekick after 89 minutes play. Georg Lund hit a great ball. Örns Glada Gubbar's Erik Rolandsson got a good chance for a goal in the 91st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 92 minutes into the match, Blidsberg's Thor Karlberg sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Joseph Lindholm narrowly saved just below the crossbar. For all the effort they put into the match, the Örns Glada Gubbar players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Blidsberg.
