Karl Mårtensson scored 0-1 in the 6th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Viktor Hjälm, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Jan-Åke Wennerberg hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match.

The score stood at 2-2 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Karl Mårtensson stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Nordic Mystery's Viktor Hjälm proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 52nd minute of the match, managed to save Nordic Mystery from getting a goal against them.

In the 63rd match minute, Jörlanda was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Dan Falk to maneuver through the defense.

Frank Dahlman ran back to his position shaking his head. Nordic Mystery were furious when Johan Mårtensson was red carded, 66 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In the 65th minute, one of Nordic Mystery:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Nordic Mystery.

After having played for 88 minutes, Olle Ekgren managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Nordic Mystery's supporters crossed their fingers, but Olle Ekgren was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Sebastian Dalberg fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Viktor Hjälm having to interfere. After 97 minutes of play, Nordic Mystery's Frank Dahlman made it 3-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Sven-Oskar Strömberg was left in no man's land by his defense there! Jörlanda played a much better game than Nordic Mystery and deserved their victory. The Nordic Mystery players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
