The Muck Pit
Spectators: 159 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Folke Alebäck kicked off to start the match. When FC Kurdish Warriors's Folke Alebäck in the 3rd minute got a chance for a shot 3rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Hogans Heroes's goalie prevented a goal. 1-0 became the score in the 8th minute when Thor Mager elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. 11 minutes into the match, Folke Alebäck notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Hogans Heroes's Kristian Stålberg. Kristian Stålberg was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 17th minute Bertil Byström shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kristian Stålberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 18 played minutes Hogans Heroes got a freekick which was hit by Aleksander Söderqwist. Henrik Tinglöf hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. Sven-Erik Örn's late challenge caught a Hogans Heroes's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sven-Erik Örn helped the player get up and apologised. In the 33rd match minute, FC Kurdish Warriors was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sven-Erik Örn to maneuver through the defense. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kjell Deckberg in the 41st minute of play forced Hogans Heroes's goalkeeper Kristian Stålberg to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Kristian Stålberg took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Folke Alebäck, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

The wind increased when Marcus Haglund made the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Marcus Haglund notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of FC Kurdish Warriors's Georg Spetz. Georg Spetz was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 56th minute Bertil Byström shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kristian Stålberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Folke Alebäck scored 2-3 in the 57th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Kristian Stålberg, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Sven-Erik Sandell hit a great freekick 72 minutes into the match. The supporters of FC Kurdish Warriors booed when Hogans Heroes was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marcus Haglund didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Lars Trulsson fell near the penalty area in the 81st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC Kurdish Warriors's protests and gave Lars Trulsson a yellow card for diving instead. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 81st minute of the game. One of FC Kurdish Warriors:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Hogans Heroes:s goal. In the 88th minute the ball was on its way in behind Hogans Heroes's goalkeeper Kristian Stålberg, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 89 minutes into the match, FC Kurdish Warriors's goal looked a bit too open when Peter Hammarberg came free, but Georg Spetz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Kristian Stålberg made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kjell Deckberg in the 94th minute of play. When the match was over FC Kurdish Warriors could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Hogans Heroes throughout the match.
