Russ Pickering sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Thor Abrahamsson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Karl Benet tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 13 minutes into the match, Bovallstrand's goalkeeper Karl Benet had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nils-Emil Ferm. Arvid Månsson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bengt-Åke Springfält, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. Bovallstrand's Karl Benet proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 18th minute of the match, managed to save Bovallstrand from getting a goal against them. The supporters of RCD Espanyol booed when Bovallstrand was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Egon Alebom didn't get a good kick on the ball. Jarkko Jatkola lost his temper 26 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in RCD Espanyol fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 25th minute. Penalty! If Thor Abrahamsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Thor Abrahamsson came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the RCD Espanyol 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 Thor Abrahamsson couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in Bovallstrand's zone, Russ Pickering stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Karl Benet came out of the goal and Russ Pickering tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Arvid Månsson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bengt-Åke Springfält, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 45th minute, Kjell-Arne Håning hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 47 minutes, Bengt-Åke Springfält managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bovallstrand's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bengt-Åke Springfält was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Thor Abrahamsson to make the kick off. If Bengt-Åke Springfält had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Bengt-Åke Springfält ran back to his position shaking his head. Arvid Månsson made an important save on a dangerous shot by Bengt-Åke Springfält in the 89th minute.
