Delsjö had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Rudol - Wickman, Helle, Tozan, Morell - Lederman, Trupp, Persson, Larsson - Dahiroğlu, Andersson.

For their match strategy, GP had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. The rain made it hard for players like J. Larsson to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. Many thought J. Arnáez ought to have been awarded a penalty 8 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around A. Rudol after a determined run through the middle. M. Morell slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. After 32 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by GP was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Delsjö, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

GP mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 69 minutes, but H. Hjortbeck was unable to convert from short range. With the match clock at 70 minutes, Delsjö modified their style of play a little bit. GP made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left J. Larsson completely alone with keeper A. Rudol, who made a spectacular block. GP's C. Stroka left the field after 83 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was O. Stjernsjö. The referee showed GP's R. Nilsson the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. GP enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

R. Nilsson performed admirably for GP. O. Stjernsjö on the other hand, had a terrible day. Delsjö's best player was R. Andersson. F. Wickman was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
