Spectators: 160 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Patric Molander started the match with the kick off. When Edward Petersson came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Brutal DeLuxe 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 Edward Petersson couldn't finish the play. 7 minutes into the match, Kennet Höijer had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Walter Gustavsson. Åsbro Flåsegutter's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Kennet Höijer was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 11th minute, Tage Wennerlund 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. Patric Molander's late challenge caught a Brutal DeLuxe's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Patric Molander helped the player get up and apologised. Patric Molander hit a great freekick 18 minutes into the match. A collision led to Åsbro Flåsegutter getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Martin Molin hit a great ball. Thanks to some nice moves Patric Molander could shoot a difficult shot in the 28th minute, which Jan Wallin however easily saved by the left post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tage Wennerlund in the 30th minute of play forced Brutal DeLuxe's goalkeeper Jan Wallin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Brutal DeLuxe booed when Åsbro Flåsegutter was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. John Engström didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 32nd minute, Alfons Alrot managed to get in a good position for a shot. Brutal DeLuxe's supporters rose to their feet, but Alfons Alrot was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Walter Gustavsson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Kennet Höijer sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The Åsbro Flåsegutter players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Brutal DeLuxe were winning 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Kennet Höijer stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Tage Wennerlund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Jan Wallin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 59th minute, Herbert Almqvist hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 60 played minutes, Åsbro Flåsegutter's Patric Molander shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Jan Wallin came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Åsbro Flåsegutter reached it. Patric Molander sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 65 minutes of play Åsbro Flåsegutter's Patric Molander was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Walter Gustavsson was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 66th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Sverker Mellbad. 70 minutes into the match, Åsbro Flåsegutter's goal looked a bit too open when Kennet Höijer came free, but Walter Gustavsson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With 72 minutes on the clock, Björn Hellgren commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Åsbro Flåsegutter fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 71st minute. Penalty! The referee gave Brutal DeLuxe a penalty, 74 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Alfons Alrot, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Åsbro Flåsegutter's Walter Gustavsson. 0-2. If Edward Petersson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Walter Gustavsson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alvar Larsson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
