At halftime, BK Häcken substituted Tom Söderberg, which would prove to be a wise move. However, in the second half, it was GAIS that had a bit more control, and they made two substitutions in quick succession when Peter Ijeh and Markus Gustafsson replaced Jakob Olsson and Romario Pereira Sipiao.
BK Häcken responded by substituting Andreas Drugge for Dioh Williams in the 64th minute and then Martin Ericsson for Dominic Chatto in the 77th. They also faced a tough battle against GAIS, and defender Mak Lind received a yellow card in the 78th minute.
Tom Söderberg, who had come on as a halftime substitute, received a yellow card in stoppage time (90+3'), which caused an uproar among Häcken's players and supporters.
The match ended 0-0, marking a hard-fought battle between two very evenly matched teams. Markus Strömbergsson, Stefan Hallberg, and Henrik Bogdan were the officiating referees for this Allsvenskan match.
