The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ola Hansson was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ola Hansson in the 54th minute of play forced Sundens BK's goalkeeper Axel Martinsson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 55th minute, George Ström fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post.
