Spectators: 7471 (Terracing: 5604, Seating: 1718, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Konrad Valström started the match with the kick off. Leo Puncet took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Robin Asserlindh, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 9th minute, Konrad Valström left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Slipmaskinerna fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Slipmaskinerna's Björn Rudqvist proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 14th minute of the match, managed to save Slipmaskinerna from getting a goal against them. After a defensive mix-up in Slipmaskinerna's zone, Pudes Bachiller stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Björn Rudqvist came out of the goal and Pudes Bachiller tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of Oylimpiamos Ψ booed when Slipmaskinerna was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jimmy Tunberg didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Pudes Bachiller had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 24th match minute, Slipmaskinerna was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rolf Karlsson to maneuver through the defense. When Robert Stenkvist came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the Slipmaskinerna 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 Robert Stenkvist couldn't finish the play. After 29 played minutes Oylimpiamos Ψ got a freekick which was hit by Hibai Luna. Leo Puncet showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Oskar Svanér in the 44th minute of the match. Pudes Bachiller fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Björn Rudqvist having to interfere. Inautzi Abreu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Pudes Bachiller to make the kick off. 54 minutes into the match, Konrad Valström dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Leo Puncet, 0-3. An unexpectedly hard shot by Oskar Svanér in the 60th minute of play forced Oylimpiamos Ψ's goalkeeper Leo Puncet to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Hibai Luna sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Leo Puncet made a fantastic save in the 65th minute, when Konrad Valström sent off a good shot on target. 69 minutes had been played when some careless play by Slipmaskinerna's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Inautzi Abreu was slow to take the kick. During this time Oylimpiamos Ψ's players had a chance to rest. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jimmy Tunberg in the 72nd minute of play forced Oylimpiamos Ψ's goalkeeper Leo Puncet to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Konrad Valström came free with the goalkeeper in the 76th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Leo Puncet could save by the left post. After a rather tough play, Oylimpiamos Ψ's Bernardino Antigua got a free kick in the 77th minute. 78 minutes into the game, Konrad Valström lined in a short shot 0-4 behind a frustrated Leo Puncet. Oylimpiamos Ψ's Leo Puncet played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Oskar Svanér in the 84th minute of play. Inautzi Abreu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Björn Rudqvist tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Pudes Bachiller had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 97th minute, Bernardino Antigua hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Robert Stenkvist recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 98th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The Oylimpiamos Ψ supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Slipmaskinerna's performance. The match ended with a win for Slipmaskinerna.
