Spectators: 6731 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Bertil Sjögren started the match with the kick off. After a rather tough play, Vagnhärad IK's Arne Danielsson got a free kick in the 3rd minute. Joey Lugunez was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 4th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.

After having played for 10 minutes, Elpidio Menendez managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Inge Algren kicked well hit freekick during the 33rd minute of the match. After 34 played minutes, Valle Saron's Joey Lugunez shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Daniel Anselius came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line.

In the 40th minute Elpidio Menendez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daniel Anselius saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Daniel Anselius was left in no man's land by his defense there! The audience was convinced that Etxatxu Penas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Daniel Anselius was relentless in the 66th minute of the game. Daniel Anselius was a little too slow when Etxatxu Penas got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 71st minute. The score was now 0-5.

Urban Bergqvist's late challenge caught a Valle Saron's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Urban Bergqvist helped the player get up and apologised. Valle Saron played a much better game than Vagnhärad IK and deserved their victory. The Vagnhärad IK players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
