Spectators: 6717 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1717, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Billy Dahlberg took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 7th minute Cemil Kaya shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sverker Lindgren saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Sverker Lindgren showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cemil Kaya in the 9th minute of the match. 12 minutes into the match, Muharrem Bektaş had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Sverker Lindgren. Gudhem's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Muharrem Bektaş was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Wiktor Mikaelsson hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. The referee felt a red card was in order, 25 minutes into the game, when Johnny Hultin put in a rough tackle.

Hıncal Ehlimen's late challenge caught a Gudhem's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hıncal Ehlimen helped the player get up and apologised. Gudhem made a substitution. Bo-Erik Söder replaced Herbert Lagerberg. STARS TEAM played a much better game than Gudhem and deserved their victory. The Gudhem players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
