Ferro picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. TB128 created a good opportunity to score 18 minutes into the match when L. Svensson's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. After 29 minutes, M. Carlstedt came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 2 - 1, giving TB128 the lead. linds's L. Ahlbom was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 30 minutes. T. Håkansson was called on to replace TB128's A. Irlius after 34 minutes following a nasty collision. After 35 minutes, TB128 sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached M. Carlstedt, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 3 - 1. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 1. TB128 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

The home crowd was silenced as E. Gyllenskär took a successful penalty shot 70 minutes into the game, reducing the home lead to 3 - 2. linds had a chance to level the score as L. Ahlbom suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. 80 minutes in, linds's E. Gyllenskär received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With 83 minutes having been played, his teammates looked on in disbelief as T. Gripenin thoughtlessly misplayed the ball, setting up linds's J. Nikus for an easy goal. 3 - 3. After 84 minutes of play, L. Svensson gave the home team a 4 - 3 lead after an attack coming in from the right. H. Tegby made a run for the goal 85 minutes into the game but the home team's left back managed to sort the situation out in the end. TB128's B. Tullborg was shown a yellow card after 86 minutes for slicing down an opponent. TB128 had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

TB128's top performer was clearly F. Viking. On the other hand, T. Gripenin's play was disheartening. The most dominating linds player was without a doubt J. Forslind. M. Stridbratt on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 3.
