Spectators: 7545 (Terracing: 5660, Seating: 1735, VIP seats: 150) Rafa Borges showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Örjan Bryngelsson, who was totally free with the ball in the 10th minute. 12 minutes into the match, Cercadinho's goal looked a bit too open when Arne Olofsson came free, but Rafa Borges reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to Cercadinho getting a freekick after 18 minutes play. Teodoro Fontes hit a great ball. After 19 played minutes, Öllsjö FC's Leif Hedvall shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Rafa Borges came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Öllsjö FC reached it. Öllsjö FC's Stig-Arne Zander quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Carlos Fernando Mesquita, made in the 28th minute of the game. After 30 played minutes Felippe Amaral could catch the ball where he stood relatively free a bit outside the goal and without hesitation he completed 1-0 into the left cross. In the 35th minute, Carlos Fernando Mesquita hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 36th minute of the match Leif Hedvall shot from a long distance.

Rafa Borges came out of the goal in the 39th minute to try and stop a shot by Öllsjö FC's Örjan Bryngelsson. But to his dismay, Örjan Bryngelsson quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Arne Olofsson stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 53rd minute Eurico de Lara shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Wictor Kjellbom saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Örjan Bryngelsson could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 55th minute of the match, but Rafa Borges made a huge save. If Örjan Bryngelsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 60 minutes into the game, Arne Olofsson recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Rafa Borges. Arne Olofsson showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-2. 1-3 became the score in the 64th minute when Arne Olofsson elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Eurico de Lara struck a weak shot in the 68th minute. Wictor Kjellbom didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cercadinho. In the 69th minute, Felippe Amaral hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 70th minute of the match Stig-Arne Zander shot from a long distance.

After some fancy dribbling in the 78th minute, Zé Tello managed to get in a good position for a shot. Cercadinho's supporters rose to their feet, but Zé Tello was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Wictor Kjellbom breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Cercadinho's supporters rose to their feet, but Felippe Amaral was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
