Just nine minutes in, the home team opened the scoring as Viktor Prodell found the net with a precise finish. Åtvidabergs FF continued to push forward, and only twenty minutes later, Tom Pettersson doubled the lead to 2-0.

In the 50th minute, Åtvidabergs FF was awarded a penalty, which Magnus Eriksson converted into the back of the net. IF Elfsborg's coach was forced to make two substitutions immediately in an attempt to spark some energy into his tired and suspended teammates.

First through Viktor Prodell's second goal of the day, and then through Anton Tinnerholm's strike. Åtvidabergs FF won the match 5-1 against league leaders IF Elfsborg, securing three important points in the battle for a playoff spot.
