Spectators: 165 (Terracing: 124, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Chih Zidān started the match with the kick off. Philip Gallin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Chih Zidān in the 4th minute of the match. Hemza Lamine Kab showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eugen Iurașcu, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. When Chih Zidān came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the Wara 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 Chih Zidān couldn't finish the play. Philip Gallin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abderrahmane Mansouri in the 11th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Chih Zidān in the 19th minute of play forced Stjärnblomster's goalkeeper Philip Gallin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Michael Gustafsson charged in rather forcefully in the 23rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Michael Gustafsson the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Michael Gustafsson hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. In the 28th minute Chih Zidān shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Philip Gallin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Sten Bergren hit a great freekick 29 minutes into the match. 31 minutes into the game, Sten Bergren threw the ball into play from the sideline. Wara's Ismaïl Laref quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. If Chih Zidān had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Philip Gallin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Chih Zidān in the 34th minute of the match. Philip Gallin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Chih Zidān, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 42nd minute, Chih Zidān ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Philip Gallin was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. 45 minutes into the match, Chih Zidān had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Philip Gallin. Stjärnblomster's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Chih Zidān was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Steffen Kullgren to make the kick off. Wara's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Jean-Baptiste Boulebda in the 57th minute. Wara's Hemza Lamine Kab played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Steffen Kullgren in the 58th minute of play. Philip Gallin came out of the goal in the 69th minute to try and stop a shot by Wara's Chih Zidān. But to his dismay, Chih Zidān quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-3. In the 71st minute Aprígio Aleixo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hemza Lamine Kab saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 73 minutes into the game, Stjärnblomster's Steffen Kullgren nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Hemza Lamine Kab made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-3. Philip Gallin made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Chih Zidān in the 79th minute of play. Stjärnblomster made a substitution. Tony Klint replaced Guto Alagoano. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mahieddine Belfaa got free with Philip Gallin in the 86th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 89th minute Chih Zidān shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Philip Gallin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 96th minute, Leif Fagerberg hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jean-Baptiste Boulebda was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 96th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Wara's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
