Gilbert Lindberg recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 13 minutes into the match, Polly Magoo Juniors's goal looked a bit too open when Hugo Pihlblad came free, but Fabien Lafont reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 30th minute, Gnaget United FC's Joar Lilja dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Emanuel Carlsson stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 54 minutes into the game, Hugo Pihlblad was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

In the 92nd match minute, Polly Magoo Juniors was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eric Bertaux to maneuver through the defense. When Bertil Aleberg came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the Gnaget United FC 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 Bertil Aleberg couldn't finish the play. For all the effort they put into the match, the Polly Magoo Juniors players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Gnaget United FC.
