Thellman used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. Thellman had a good opportunity to take the lead as Z. Almsjö came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of A. Kindner. With 19 minutes played R. Szolár almost put the home team one ahead on a cross coming in from the right, but the shot went just wide. Thellman had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Thellman took the lead after 36 minutes as a result of Z. Almsjö's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Thellman had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Thellman to 2 - 0 as J. Alexandersson finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. With 60 minutes played, the Blues coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. R. Olofsson came on, J. Stridsten had to leave the fray. Cheers filled the stadium as C. Silverstedt broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to Thellman. After 70 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by A. Dadashi might have resulted in another goal for Thellman. However, A. Kindner made a spectacular save. After 73 minutes, H. Josefsson put Thellman ahead 4 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Thellman lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After 75 minutes, Blues switched P. Dyrstedt with T. Nordfeldt, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Thellman claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

Thellman's top performer was clearly M. Falkblad. P. Tegling turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Blues player was without a doubt T. Nordfeldt. However, T. Christiansson made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
