The sun seemed to put K. Borgholm in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. After 28 minutes of game time, P.

Bar pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Bar, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Bar claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.
