Spectators: 153 (Terracing: 115, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Allan Vinström kicked off to start the match.

Fredrik Bennet fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 4th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Freddie Söderlund having to interfere. After 7 minutes, Fredric Botvidsson made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Samurai's Roger Klemensson tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Henry Åkerström received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Freddie Söderlund tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Henry Åkerström got free with Freddie Söderlund in the 24th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Freddie Söderlund was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Henry Åkerström showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-1 in the 25 minute of play. Roger Klemensson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anders Mellin, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. 35 minutes into the game, Henry Åkerström recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Freddie Söderlund. Henry Åkerström showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-1. Bo Svanström struck a weak shot in the 39th minute. Freddie Söderlund didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Samurai. With a little luck, Kind of Blue's Freddie Söderlund got control of the ball when Fredrik Bennet tried to sneak it across the goal line. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Fredrik Bennet was the one to do the kick off. After 53 minutes, Anders Mellin mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Kind of Blue and the Samurai players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 53rd minute, Anders Mellin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Allan Vinström could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 66th minute of the match, but Roger Klemensson made a huge save. 69 minutes into the match, Per-Oskar Andberg had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Freddie Söderlund. Kind of Blue's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Per-Oskar Andberg was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. Anders Mellin hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. Fredrik Bennet was shown his second yellow card after 74 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match.

Samurai's Roger Klemensson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Allan Vinström in the 76th minute of play. Roger Klemensson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fredric Botvidsson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jens-Ove Käcker scored 3-2 in the 87th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Roger Klemensson, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Samurai's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Jens-Ove Käcker 89 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 3-3.
