Pool_FC saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Today, södertelje's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. At 12 minutes played, M. Ståhlerberg came in from the right with the intention of giving Pool_FC the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. Pool_FC were very close to putting themselves one up after 27 minutes as B. Filiposki got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. W. Gottborn of Pool_FC was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The visiting K. Tjädermar was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 36 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. Pool_FC tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. K. Tjädermar of södertelje received a yellow card after 41 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Pool_FC enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.

The crowd chanted their encouragement as Pool_FC's V. Säfborn came in from the right after 65 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 1 - 1. With 71 minutes played, H. Persson of Pool_FC fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. It was obvious that Pool_FC had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Pool_FC could have put themselves ahead after 80 minutes but B. Filiposki missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. södertelje's K. Häggborn was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 84 minutes. Pool_FC were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Pool_FC took the lead 85 minutes in, as W. Gottborn broke through on the left and put the 2 - 1 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. In a rapid move 86 minutes into the match, M. Ståhlerberg of Pool_FC lost his man and passed the ball to the unmarked T. Ragnarsson who easily hit it home to make it 3 - 1. Luckily the ref didn't see him taunting the opposing fans in celebration - naughty boy! Players in Pool_FC heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Pool_FC put in a good effort on the right, but J. Toppila saw his volley fly wide of the mark 88 minutes into the game. The game was close to savage at times, and södertelje's K. Tjädermar received a second yellow card after 89 minutes; his ticket out of the game. Pool_FC claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 71 percent.

Pool_FC's best player was V. Säfborn. H. Persson turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating södertelje player was without a doubt O. Örnborg. O. Bernhardsson on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
