Spectators: 7665 (Terracing: 5750, Seating: 1762, VIP seats: 153) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Marco Ruben started the match with the kick off. Bengt-Arne Åberg sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bengt-Arne Åberg who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 16thth minute tested the skills of Videl Mauriz when he managed to save the team from getting behind.

The corner ended in Aaron Min almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦'s Videl Mauriz did a great save. After a very even first half the match was still tied.

In the 77th minute, Bengt-Arne Åberg made a precise shot to the right of Videl Mauriz. ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦'s defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0.
