Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Arvid Henriksson got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute, Dag Lindmark hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

If Verner Hansson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 9 minutes, Gösta Zander mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the PP Plessydask and the FF Små Gröna Män players grew even worse after the yellow card. Gösta Zander kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. After 10 played minutes, FF Små Gröna Män's Tage Lundberg shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Niclas Lundqvist 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 FF Små Gröna Män reached it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Arvid Henriksson in the 13th minute of play forced PP Plessydask's goalkeeper Niclas Lundqvist to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

In the 29th minute, Sven-Arne Lundberg got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. When Verner Hansson came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the FF Små Gröna Män 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 Verner Hansson couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 32nd minute, Verner Hansson managed to get in a good position for a shot. FF Små Gröna Män's supporters rose to their feet, but Verner Hansson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Dag Lindmark made a kick off. After 56 minutes PP Plessydask's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Tage Lundberg who took care of the corner kick. A nice corner shot did that Tage Lundberg got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Niclas Lundqvist quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. In the 62nd minute, Villiam Qvalfeldt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Harry Haagenstjerne was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 62nd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. FF Små Gröna Män's Villiam Qvalfeldt got a good chance for a goal in the 70th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Niclas Lundqvist made an important save on a dangerous shot by Sven-Arne Lundberg in the 73rd minute. Niclas Lundqvist was out of position in the 77 minute of play, and Arvid Henriksson capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Arvid Henriksson really showed his touch with that goal: 0-1. Niclas Lundqvist made a fantastic save in the 80th minute, when Verner Hansson sent off a good shot on target. Joel Erserman's late challenge caught a FF Små Gröna Män's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
