But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Jörn Lund couldn't finish the play. 26 minutes into the game, Åre FF's Olov Wenerdahl nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Björn Nyqvist made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1.
