25736 spectators had come to Kalas Arena this cloudy day. Juan Carlos Higuera was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jason Muetstege and Neil Sharpe. Kalas had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. Lineup: Neil - van den Horn, Fransen, Thorstensson, Miedelsbach, Svensson - Hanlo, Landborg, Bačiulis - Peren, Sandgren.

Pungkrockarna decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Chabot - Correia, Purgiňa, Moity, Alara - Muurila, Rodríguez, Kutner, Verdeja - Voldstedlund, Muś.

Kalas clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Today, Pungkrockarna's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 10 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Kalas to take the lead after a good cross from the right found D. Miedelsbach alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Pungkrockarna's A. Muurila managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 28 minutes. 0 - 1. 34 minutes into the match, Pungkrockarna's M. Voldstedlund demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to E. Muś who chipped it in for 0 - 2. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Pungkrockarna, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

G. Peren charged down the left and looked sure to score for Kalas 52 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. The home crowd was not impressed when Š. Purgiňa came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 56 minutes. Pungkrockarna were now up 0 - 3. Some fine movement on the left led to a Pungkrockarna goal after 57 minutes, making it 0 - 4. M. Kutner was noted down as the scorer. It took several tries, but Kalas managed to break through on the left after 69 minutes, getting the ball to L. Fransen who easily reduced the lead to make the score 1 - 4. With 80 minutes played, the Kalas coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. S. Enelund came on, P. Landborg had to leave the fray. With 81 minutes played, E. Muś of Pungkrockarna fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

Kalas's top performer was clearly G. Peren. M. Hanlo on the other hand, had a terrible day. M. Voldstedlund performed admirably for Pungkrockarna. On the other hand, N. Chabot's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 4.
