He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in FC NILS reached it. After having played for 66 minutes, Ronny Broman managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tunge Titans's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ronny Broman was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Joacim Qvalfeldt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Joacim Qvalfeldt's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Tomas Gummeson read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 73rd minute of play.
