Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Otto Brask took the kick off in the first half of the match. 3 minutes into the match, AC United's goal looked a bit too open when Nicklas Flinck came free, but Eskil Danielsson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Eskil Danielsson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nicklas Flinck, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Sven-Edvin Askestät's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Eskil Danielsson was relentless in the 14th minute of the game. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Sven-Edvin Askestät in the 19th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Eskil Danielsson saved AC United from getting behind. Mattias Asserlind took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Otto Brask, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

After some fancy dribbling in the 42nd minute, Magnus Brask managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kingpins's supporters rose to their feet, but Magnus Brask was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Eskil Danielsson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Bo-Erik Lång charged in rather forcefully in the 46th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Bo-Erik Lång the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.

In the 66th minute Magnus Brask shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Eskil Danielsson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Kingpins's Mattias Asserlind played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Otto Brask in the 71st minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Otto Brask in the 73rd minute of play forced Kingpins's goalkeeper Mattias Asserlind to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. AC United's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Anton Gernberg in the 75th minute. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Kingpins's goalie and right to Michael Flinck. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Kingpins's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. After a rather tough play, AC United's Calle Möller got a free kick in the 79th minute. A collision led to Kingpins getting a freekick after 85 minutes play. Casper Lindqvist hit a great ball.

The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
