The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Eric Eriksson didn't get a good kick on the ball. 53 minutes into the match, Stockholm IF's goalkeeper Kjell-Arne Palmquist had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gabriel Klintæus.

Andreas Stålberg hit a great ball. When Kjell Vollander got free in front of the goal in the 84th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal.
