Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Pablo Sayvion took the kick off in the first half of the match. With a little luck, Degerfors IF's Håkan Söderberg got control of the ball when Pablo Sayvion tried to sneak it across the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Tomas Kråk during the 5th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Degerfors IF's Tomas Kråk got a free kick in the 5th minute. 10 minutes into the match, Tuncay Cansever notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Ψ virgen Ψ's Dalmacio Manuelo. Dalmacio Manuelo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a defensive mix-up in Degerfors IF's zone, Pablo Sayvion stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Håkan Söderberg came out of the goal and Pablo Sayvion tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 15 minutes into the match, Ψ virgen Ψ's goal looked a bit too open when Tuncay Cansever came free, but Dalmacio Manuelo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Tomas Kråk kicked well hit freekick during the 17th minute of the match. In the 17th minute of the match Jonas Birila shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Håkan Söderberg showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After 18 played minutes Degerfors IF got a freekick which was hit by Tuncay Cansever. After 20th play minutes Tuncay Cansever shot 0-2, a short shot which went by Dalmacio Manuelo and just under the crossbar into goal. Tuncay Cansever might have been able to make a better finish in the 23rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Dalmacio Manuelo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tuncay Cansever ran back to his position shaking his head. Ψ virgen Ψ's Dalmacio Manuelo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tuncay Cansever in the 23rd minute of play. Philip Kihlman's late challenge caught a Ψ virgen Ψ's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Philip Kihlman helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Degerfors IF's Philip Kihlman got a free kick in the 27th minute. Jonas Birila could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 28th minute of the match, but Håkan Söderberg made a huge save. 31 minutes into the match, Tuncay Cansever had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Dalmacio Manuelo. Ψ virgen Ψ's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Tuncay Cansever was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. If Tuncay Cansever had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Ψ virgen Ψ players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Degerfors IF were winning 1-3.

Ψ virgen Ψ's Fausto Gonzales was substituted for Pablo Sayvion. Ψ virgen Ψ's Blas Espiridion was substituted for Victorino Diaz. When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Tuncay Cansever made a kick off. Blas Espiridion scored 2-3 in the 54th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Håkan Söderberg, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Tuncay Cansever hit a great freekick 57 minutes into the match. Degerfors IF's Håkan Söderberg played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fausto Gonzales in the 62nd minute of play. When Tomas Kråk was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 70 minutes had been played. After a defensive mix-up in Degerfors IF's zone, Jonas Birila stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Håkan Söderberg came out of the goal and Jonas Birila tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 75 minutes of play, Ψ virgen Ψ's Blas Espiridion made it 3-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Håkan Söderberg was left in no man's land by his defense there! 78 minutes into the game, Fausto Gonzales cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 4-3. Håkan Söderberg was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After some careless play in the Degerfors IF defense, Claudio Garikoitz kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Håkan Söderberg. The Degerfors IF fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Håkan Söderberg should have stopped the shot. After a rather tough play, Degerfors IF's Christian Håkansson got a free kick in the 84th minute. 94 minutes into the game, Mattias Västlund was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Degerfors IF's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ψ virgen Ψ the free kick. 김 손 charged in rather forcefully in the 98th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 김 손 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 97th minute, one of Degerfors IF: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 Degerfors IF. Jonas Birila shot the penalty kick right outside the post. The home crowd let out a huge roar when the referee blew for the end of the game. Ψ virgen Ψ were victorious despite being under pressure from Degerfors IF for much of the match.
