Spectators: 7518 (Terracing: 5639, Seating: 1729, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Horaţiu Zmărăndache started the match with the kick off. In the 6thth minute of the game Horaţiu Zmărăndache who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Köping's Ulf Wallman was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After 16 minutes, Horaţiu Zmărăndache made it 1-1 with a short kick to the right side. Köping's Ulf Wallman tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Niculae Urducea made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Per-Erik Allbom in the 24th minute of play. Hugo Rudqvist fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Niculae Urducea having to interfere. In the 39th minute, Gelu Pătran 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. Hugo Rudqvist took the ball and in the 42 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Niculae Urducea. Niculae Urducea dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. Per-Erik Allbom received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Niculae Urducea tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 2-2 after a close first half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Hugo Rudqvist to strike the kick off in the second half. The supporters of Club13 booed when Köping was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 52 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hugo Rudqvist didn't get a good kick on the ball. The crowd rose to their feet as Per-Erik Allbom kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Niculae Urducea. That made the score 2-3 in the 53 minute of play. Niculae Urducea showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hugo Rudqvist, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. Per-Erik Allbom could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 64th minute of the match, but Niculae Urducea made a huge save. Köping's Ulf Wallman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Horaţiu Zmărăndache in the 65th minute of play. When Iustinian Ghimiș fell near the penalty area in the 68th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Club13's protests and gave Iustinian Ghimiș a yellow card for diving instead. After 68 played minutes Club13 got a freekick which was hit by Iustinian Ghimiș. In the 72nd match minute, Köping was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ivan Kvick to maneuver through the defense.

Valter Strömbom hit a great ball. Horaţiu Zmărăndache struck a weak shot in the 90th minute. Ulf Wallman didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Club13. In the 92nd minute Horaţiu Zmărăndache shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ulf Wallman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hugo Rudqvist fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Niculae Urducea having to interfere. The Club13 fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Köping were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
