Spectators: 7992 (Terracing: 5995, Seating: 1838, VIP seats: 159) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ruben Dolfo made the kick off which started today's match. 0-1 became the score in the 7th minute when Kurt Lindman elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. 14 minutes into the match, La Gallardeta's goal looked a bit too open when Kurt Lindman came free, but Marcelo Bikendi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Oskari Ilari received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 25th minute. Marcelo Bikendi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 30th minute Jakob Andreasson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marcelo Bikendi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 34 minutes, Jakob Andreasson mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the The Heren Istarion and the La Gallardeta players grew even worse after the yellow card. When Ruben Dolfo came up free with the goalie in the 35th minute, the La Gallardeta 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 Ruben Dolfo couldn't finish the play. Ruben Dolfo hit a great freekick 37 minutes into the match. Bengt-Åke Håkansson made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ruben Dolfo in the 42nd minute. Orlando Hori kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The wind increased when Oskari Ilari made the kick off in the second half. The referee felt a red card was in order, 59 minutes into the game, when Stig-Åke Rydelius put in a rough tackle. In the 59th minute, one of The Heren Istarion:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for The Heren Istarion. The referee gave La Gallardeta a penalty, 61 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Modesto Teodor, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of The Heren Istarion's Bengt-Åke Håkansson. 1-1. After a rather tough play, La Gallardeta's Aureliano Frasquito got a free kick in the 68th minute. Apolo Naelio kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. Paulo Romelio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, La Gallardeta's Rodolfo Goito got a free kick in the 87th minute. Dan Hjortberg kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. Ruben Dolfo struck a weak shot in the 90th minute. Bengt-Åke Håkansson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for La Gallardeta. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ruben Dolfo in the 93rd minute of play forced The Heren Istarion's goalkeeper Bengt-Åke Håkansson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. La Gallardeta's Marcelo Bikendi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kurt Lindman in the 97th minute of play. La Gallardeta were unable to convert their possession into goals, allowing The Heren Istarion to leave the ground with a draw.
