Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Sedef Mehmet kicked off to start the match. Jens-Ola Löv made a fantastic save in the 9th minute, when Zulkarnaen Rusandi sent off a good shot on target. After having played for 11 minutes, Alfred Österberg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Zero Hedge's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alfred Österberg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Zero Hedge's defense didn't have a chance, in the 18th minute, when Sedef Mehmet scored to the left of an out of position Jens-Ola Löv, making the score, 1-0. Syahril Rungkat didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alfred Österberg went, in the 21st minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. After some careless play in the Gala defense, Alfred Österberg kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Syahril Rungkat. The Gala fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Syahril Rungkat should have stopped the shot. Hamdani Supit made in the 35th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Aban Adnyana immediately put the ball in play. Bertil Åström received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 38th minute. Syahril Rungkat tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 47th match minute, Zero Hedge was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Kristian Kvick to maneuver through the defense. After the first half Zero Hedge were leading 1-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Bertil Åström stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Syahril Rungkat made an important save on a dangerous shot by Bertil Åström in the 54th minute. If Alfred Österberg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Gala's Syahril Rungkat played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alfred Österberg in the 55th minute of play. Alfred Österberg recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 60th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 61st minute Sedef Mehmet shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jens-Ola Löv saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sedef Mehmet in the 65th minute of play forced Zero Hedge's goalkeeper Jens-Ola Löv to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 68th minute, Karl Lindström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Zero Hedge's Bengt Jonsson was substituted for Bertil Åström. After a rather tough play, Zero Hedge's Karl Lindström got a free kick in the 69th minute. Jens-Ola Löv showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sedef Mehmet in the 70th minute of the match. In the 76th minute, Sedef Mehmet ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Jens-Ola Löv was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-3. 83 minutes into the match, Gala's goal looked a bit too open when Alfred Österberg came free, but Syahril Rungkat reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 91 minutes into the game, Aban Adnyana was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Gala's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Zero Hedge the free kick. In the 91st minute, Aban Adnyana hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 92 minutes into the match, Melker Törnblom sent off a long shot that looked like it was going straight into the goal, but because Syahril Rungkat threw himself in his full length he managed to grip the ball by the left post, and there was no goal for Melker Törnblom this time. Alfred Österberg received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Syahril Rungkat came out and tried to block the shot, but Alfred Österberg slotted it home off the left post making it 2-4 in the 95th minute. When the match was over Zero Hedge could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Gala throughout the match.
