Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Borut Špiček made the kick off which started today's match. After having played for 5 minutes, Dick Forss managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bulltofta BB's supporters crossed their fingers, but Dick Forss was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The supporters of Avantgarde booed when Bulltofta BB was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Niklas Harman didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 20thth minute of the game Timmy Nyman who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Avantgarde's Karl-Oskar Göransson was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Bulltofta BB's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Ingvar Kvist in the 21st minute. A nice corner shot did that Malte Bergström got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Karl-Oskar Göransson quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. 2-0 became the score in the 24th minute when Borut Špiček elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. In the 27th minute, Egil Dahlgren left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Avantgarde fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Borut Špiček in the 39th minute of play forced Bulltofta BB's goalkeeper Jim Hultman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 42 minutes of play, Bulltofta BB's Timmy Nyman made it 4-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Karl-Oskar Göransson was left in no man's land by his defense there! The crowd rose to their feet as Avantgarde's Borut Špiček slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Jim Hultman. That made the score 5-1 after 46 minutes of play.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Timmy Nyman was the one to do the kick off. In the 53rd minute, Egil Dahlgren left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Avantgarde fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 6-1. Timmy Nyman in the 57thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Karl-Oskar Göransson, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Bulltofta BB's Jim Hultman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Borut Špiček in the 60th minute of play. Malte Bergström got in the 62nd a clear chance and fired away a hard shot against goal, but Karl-Oskar Göransson handled the situation perfectly and made a save by the crossbar. When the match clock showed 62 minutes, the score became 6-2 when Malte Bergström sped through Avantgarde's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Karl-Oskar Göransson. The Avantgarde fans' excitement grew in the 66th match minute when Avantgarde's Egil Dahlgren looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 7-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Henning Karlsson managed to get in a good position for a shot. Bulltofta BB's supporters rose to their feet, but Henning Karlsson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Karl-Oskar Göransson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 72ndth minute of the game Egil Dahlgren who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Bulltofta BB's Jim Hultman was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Bulltofta BB's Timmy Nyman got a good chance for a goal in the 73rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Jim Hultman stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Egil Dahlgren's shot from short distance in the 81st minute. When Borut Špiček came up free with the goalie in the 83rd minute, the Avantgarde fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Borut Špiček couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in Bulltofta BB's zone, Borut Špiček stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jim Hultman came out of the goal and Borut Špiček tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Egil Dahlgren had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sören Blanck received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Jim Hultman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 93rd minute, Egil Dahlgren got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Avantgarde fans cheered their team off the field, for while Bulltofta BB had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
