The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Robíño Football Club. Lars-Erik Täman didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Gottfrid Heggert went, in the 36th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Gottfrid Heggert to make the kick off.

Joel Forssell's late challenge caught a Robíño Football Club's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
