Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) Skollholmen FC's Magnus Söderlund started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Joel Matsson during the 11th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Stig Helström succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 13th playminute. After 16 played minutes Skollholmen FC got a freekick which was hit by Bernt Sjögren. 20 minutes into the game, Herman Vennerkvist was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Skollholmen FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Balla Bollar the free kick. Magnus Söderlund's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Per-Åke Ekberg read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 22nd minute of play. Balla Bollar's Tobias Enström got a good chance for a goal in the 24th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Tobias Enström had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tobias Enström in the 32nd minute of play forced Skollholmen FC's goalkeeper Billy Falck to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Tobias Enström came up free with the goalie in the 33rd minute, the Balla Bollar 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 Tobias Enström couldn't finish the play. Skollholmen FC's Billy Falck played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dan Tinglöf in the 34th minute of play. Magnus Söderlund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Per-Åke Ekberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bengt-Rune Kiempe's late challenge caught a Skollholmen FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Bengt-Rune Kiempe helped the player get up and apologised. After 39 played minutes Balla Bollar got a freekick which was hit by Bengt-Rune Kiempe. Tobias Enström fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Billy Falck having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Herman Vennerkvist in the 45th minute of play forced Balla Bollar's goalkeeper Per-Åke Ekberg to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 47th minute, Tobias Enström left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Balla Bollar fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tobias Enström was the one to do the kick off. Per-Åke Ekberg showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Magnus Söderlund in the 56th minute of the match. 61 minutes into the game, Skollholmen FC's Stig Helström nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Per-Åke Ekberg made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-1. In the 69th minute, Bengt-Rune Kiempe hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Stig Helström was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 69th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Per-Åke Ekberg made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Magnus Söderlund in the 75th minute of play. The supporters of Balla Bollar booed when Skollholmen FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tor Åkerberg didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Karl-Johan Stephansson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Billy Falck tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Many of Balla Bollar's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose.
