Rocco Stadium
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. Lars-Erik Björk started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Lars-Erik Björk had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ulf Gadd. Frogner's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Lars-Erik Björk was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Kurt Björkman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ulf Gadd having to interfere. In the 15th minute, Allan Almqvist hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Magnus Bengtsson took the ball and in the 21 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mattias Löfkvist. Mattias Löfkvist dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. After 26 played minutes Frogner got a freekick which was hit by Ola Klementsson. An unexpectedly hard shot by Magnus Bengtsson in the 39th minute of play forced Team Rocco's goalkeeper Mattias Löfkvist to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ola Klementsson kicked well hit freekick during the 45th minute of the match. 46 minutes into the match, Frogner's goalkeeper Ulf Gadd had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Lars-Erik Björk. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The wind increased when Magnus Bengtsson made the kick off in the second half. Frogner's Ulf Gadd played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Michael Böcklund in the 51st minute of play. In the 57th minute Kurt Ståhlberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ulf Gadd saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 72 minutes into the match, Team Rocco's goalkeeper Mattias Löfkvist had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ulrik Wållander. Emanuel Tholsson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Mattias Löfkvist tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 80 minutes into the game, Ola Glad was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Team Rocco's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Frogner the free kick. 81 minutes into the game, Alexander Haglund cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Mattias Löfkvist was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Kurt Björkman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 91 minutes, Christian Palm managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Team Rocco's supporters crossed their fingers, but Christian Palm was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Michael Böcklund's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ulf Gadd read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 92nd minute of play.
