Edwin van der Saar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sebastian Malm in the 12th minute of play. 15 minutes into the game, Rich Lester was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

Rich Lester hit a great ball. After some careless play in the RKS Królewscy defense, Elias Alén kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Edwin van der Saar.

After a rather tough play, Monia&Ibrahim's Gustavo Gómez got a free kick in the 20th minute. The supporters of RKS Królewscy booed when Monia&Ibrahim was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Johannes Åkerström didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Sebastian Malm to make the kick off. 63 minutes into the match, Monia&Ibrahim's goal looked a bit too open when Patryk Kosel came free, but Sixten Olsmann reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Kajetan Kluczyk came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the RKS Królewscy fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Kajetan Kluczyk couldn't finish the play.
