After having played for 90 minutes, Arne Rönn managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Stadsbornas IF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Arne Rönn was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 93 minutes into the match, Stadsbornas IF's goal looked a bit too open when Sebastian Ekberg came free, but Jan Olenberg reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
