Spectators: 7716 (Terracing: 5788, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 154) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Martxel Baezabal kicked off to start the match. 8 minutes into the match, Martxel Baezabal notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of FF Små Gröna Män's Valentin Asserlindh. Valentin Asserlindh was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦'s Martxel Baezabal got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 15th minute FF Små Gröna Män were awarded a corner. Nicklas Nordstedt went to the cornerflag to take it. In the 18th minute, Lukas Malmström 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. In the 24th minute Goizeder Rabanal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Valentin Asserlindh saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Alfons Gabrielsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A collision led to ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦ getting a freekick after 32 minutes play. Luis-Antonio Cotrofe hit a great ball. Martxel Baezabal took the ball and in the 39 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Valentin Asserlindh.

Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Alfons Gabrielsson to make the kick off.

After a rather tough play, ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦'s Goizeder Rabanal got a free kick in the 56th minute. 57 minutes into the match, ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦'s goal looked a bit too open when Emanuel Nordström came free, but Tiago Somarriba reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Tiago Somarriba showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Emanuel Nordström in the 61st minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Emanuel Nordström in the 64th minute of play forced ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦'s goalkeeper Tiago Somarriba to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In a very dangerous position, a player in FF Små Gröna Män fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 67th minute. Penalty! Valentin Asserlindh had in the 68thth minute some difficulties stopping Locaio Perdiz's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. The audience was convinced that Martxel Baezabal's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Valentin Asserlindh was relentless in the 70th minute of the game. After having played for 81 minutes, Locaio Perdiz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Locaio Perdiz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
