Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Carolo Isidor took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 5 minutes of play, AFC FUSION's Carolo Isidor made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Jonatan Rydelius was left in no man's land by his defense there! Jonatan Rydelius stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Carolo Isidor's shot from short distance in the 10th minute. In the 12th minute of the match, Daniel Kiempe got a very nice opportunity to score, but Benicio Senen was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. In the 17th minute, one of Fomac FK: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 Fomac FK. A collision led to Fomac FK getting a freekick after 19 minutes play. Carl Kjellqvist hit a great ball. In the 21st minute Bengt-Åke Alebeck shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benicio Senen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as Bengt-Åke Alebeck kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Benicio Senen. That made the score 1-2 in the 24 minute of play.

In the 42nd minute, Bengt-Åke Alebeck hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Bengt-Åke Alebeck to make the kick off. With his leg Jonatan Rydelius managed to avoid a goal in the 54thth minute, when AFC FUSION's Ramiro Arnalt fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 55th minute, Lars-Erik Pil hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 60 minutes, Daniel Kiempe made it 2-3 with a short kick to the right side. AFC FUSION's Benicio Senen tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 68th minute Carl Kjellqvist shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benicio Senen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bengt-Åke Alebeck in the 75th minute of play forced AFC FUSION's goalkeeper Benicio Senen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jonatan Rydelius took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Carolo Isidor, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alfons Fagrell received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Benicio Senen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Benicio Senen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bengt-Åke Alebeck in the 86th minute of the match.

After having played for 92 minutes, Carolo Isidor managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. AFC FUSION's supporters crossed their fingers, but Carolo Isidor was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to Fomac FK getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Nils-Åke Mattsson hit a great ball.
