In the 5th minute the ball was on its way in behind Balkan FC's goalkeeper Hugo Orlando Gatti, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 8 played minutes, The Northmen Army's Santa Santa shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Hugo Orlando Gatti 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 The Northmen Army reached it. 9 minutes into the match, The Northmen Army's goal looked a bit too open when Anton Persson came free, but Tomas Vennerlund reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 13th minute Ulysses Baldwin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hugo Orlando Gatti saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Rikard Sandström got a throw-in 17 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Christoffer Elg. Tomas Vennerlund showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Niklas Morat, who was totally free with the ball in the 18th minute. 19 minutes into the game, Rikard Sandström threw the ball into play from the sideline.

With a little luck, Balkan FC's Hugo Orlando Gatti got control of the ball when Nicko Kličko tried to sneak it across the goal line.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Christoffer Elg to make the kick off. Ulysses Baldwin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 53rd minute Nicko Kličko shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hugo Orlando Gatti saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Balkan FC's Hugo Orlando Gatti played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nicko Kličko in the 65th minute of play.

After some fancy dribbling in the 82nd minute, Anton Persson managed to get in a good position for a shot. Balkan FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Anton Persson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tomas Vennerlund breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 86 minutes into the match, Folke Bokelund dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Tomas Vennerlund, 0-1. When Best Štriker fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Egon Burman kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. Svit Snabb hit a great freekick 92 minutes into the match.
