Eventually, Gefle's task became even more difficult when Olof Mård received a red card after 54 minutes, meaning they would have to play the rest of the match with one man down.

GAIS brought in Razak Omotoyossi after 71 minutes, a substitution that would prove to be significant. After 79 minutes, GAIS's Mervan Celik scored a goal to take the lead once again. At the same time, a GAIS player received a warning while they were gaining the lead. Gefle continued to press but GAIS's defense held strong.
Erik Törnros was brought on for Jens Portin, but it did not lead to a second goal for Gefle. Instead, the next goal came from GAIS with only three minutes left in the match. Razak Omotoyossi scored with an assist from Wanderson Do Carmo Carneiro, securing the victory for GAIS with a score of 3-1.
The referee was Daniel Stålhammar, assisted by Daniel Wärnmark and Peter Allheim. Gefle IF FF, who were in fourth place in the standings before the match, left the field stunned by the defeat. GAIS's victory meant they advanced from seventh to sixth place in the table.
