John Dalman struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Harald Bergman didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bantayan BK.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 38 minutes of play, Lone Oak's David Hård made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Christopher Söderquist made a kick off. Harald Bergman showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Martin Brenner, who was totally free with the ball in the 60th minute. When Alf Hermansson fell near the penalty area in the 62nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Lone Oak's protests and gave Alf Hermansson a yellow card for diving instead. In the 63rd match minute, Lone Oak was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alf Hermansson to maneuver through the defense.

After 79 played minutes, Bantayan BK's John Dalman shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Harald Bergman came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Bantayan BK reached it. With a little luck, Bantayan BK's Mats Gustafsson got control of the ball when Bengt Nordin tried to sneak it across the goal line. David Hård sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
