Spectators: 150 (Terracing: 113, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Emiliano Lesardo started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Stig-Åke Molander in the 2nd minute of play forced Manchester Quijano's goalkeeper Albino Berriotxoa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Manchester Quijano booed when Sonstorps Fotboll was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 10 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zebastian Blom didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 15th minute, Emiliano Lesardo made a precise shot to the right of Janne Katt. Sonstorps Fotboll's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. Emiliano Lesardo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

After 25 minutes of play, Manchester Quijano's Emiliano Lesardo made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Emiliano Lesardo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Janne Katt having to interfere. Albino Berriotxoa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jørg Heichendorff in the 37th minute of play. Daniel Törnblom kicked well hit freekick during the 38th minute of the match.

Albino Berriotxoa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jonas Rosendahl, who was totally free with the ball in the 46th minute. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Daniel Törnblom stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Arturo Txerran's late challenge caught a Sonstorps Fotboll's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Arturo Txerran helped the player get up and apologised. Emiliano Lesardo might have been able to make a better finish in the 56th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Janne Katt. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Emiliano Lesardo ran back to his position shaking his head. Daniel Törnblom fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Albino Berriotxoa having to interfere. If Emiliano Lesardo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Albino Berriotxoa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Stig-Åke Molander, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
