Spectators: 7165 (Terracing: 5484, Seating: 1681, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Stefan Lenberg got the match started through his kick off. After having played for 6 minutes, Isaac Pihlblad managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Lillen's supporters crossed their fingers, but Isaac Pihlblad was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 8th minute Isaac Pihlblad shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gaudencio Su saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Stefan Lenberg came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Landol IF 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 Stefan Lenberg couldn't finish the play. Manfred Christoffersson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Stefan Lenberg, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The Landol IF fans' excitement grew in the 16th match minute when Landol IF's Stefan Lenberg looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. With a little luck, FC Lillen's Manfred Christoffersson got control of the ball when Dennis Mazzola tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 32ndth minute of the game Stefan Lenberg who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Lillen's Manfred Christoffersson was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Landol IF's Dennis Mazzola got a good chance for a goal in the 33rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 38th minute, Stefan Lenberg made a precise shot to the right of Manfred Christoffersson. FC Lillen's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-0. In the 42nd minute, Stefan Lenberg 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.

Gaudencio Su was out of position in the 52 minute of play, and Sivert Fernkvist capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Sivert Fernkvist really showed his touch with that goal: 2-1. Landol IF's defense didn't have a chance, in the 58th minute, when Sivert Fernkvist scored to the left of an out of position Gaudencio Su, making the score, 2-2. A hard shot by Johannes Westerberg from long distance, 61 minutes into the match, got Gaudencio Su's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. When Isaac Pihlblad fell near the penalty area in the 73rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC Lillen's protests and gave Isaac Pihlblad a yellow card for diving instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Stefan Lenberg in the 85th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Manfred Christoffersson saved FC Lillen from getting behind. When the match clock showed 88 minutes, the score became 4-2 when Stefan Lenberg sped through FC Lillen's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Manfred Christoffersson. In the 94th minute the ball was on its way in behind Landol IF's goalkeeper Gaudencio Su, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When FC Lillen's Isaac Pihlblad in the 95th minute got a chance for a shot 95th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Landol IF's goalie prevented a goal. Manfred Christoffersson came out of the goal in the 96th minute to try and stop a shot by Landol IF's Stefan Lenberg. But to his dismay, Stefan Lenberg quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 5-2. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Landol IF had played much better football throughout.
