Spectators: 148 (Terracing: 112, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 2) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Joseph Cane kicked off to start the match.

But to his dismay, Casper Göransson quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 7th minute of the match, Fritz Vedholm got a very nice opportunity to score, but Roy Stolpe was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. After some careless play in the Here Comes the Hammer defense, Jens Hafström kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Sverker Mellbad. The Here Comes the Hammer fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Sverker Mellbad should have stopped the shot. Sverker Mellbad didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Per Kaxe went, in the 25th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. After a defensive mix-up in Here Comes the Hammer's zone, Casper Göransson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Jens Hafström to make the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Here Comes the Hammer's goal looked a bit too open when Jens Hafström came free, but Sverker Mellbad reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
