Spectators: 7267 (Terracing: 5452, Seating: 1671, VIP seats: 144) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Gabriel Haraldsson started the match with the kick off. Gabriel Haraldsson recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 4th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Lukas Falkrans's shot from long distance in the 8th minute was not bad at all, but Jönköping RK's Marcus Tholsson knew what was happening and pushed the ball into his arms just before it hit the right post. Edward Ödman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Morgan Sjöberg in the 15th minute of play. If Sixten Eliasson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Richard Ek charged in rather forcefully in the 21st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Richard Ek the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.

After having played for 43 minutes, Sixten Eliasson managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kollektivet's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sixten Eliasson was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
