It was a battle between two teams with different objectives as IFK Göteborg hosted GAIS at Gamla Ullevi in Allsvenskan. Despite the Göteborg club being in the middle of the table, it was an important match for them to win to climb higher, while GAIS desperately tried to secure points to avoid relegation.
After a balanced start to the match, IFK Göteborg came closest to taking the lead in the 23rd minute when Robin Söder received a yellow card after protesting a referee's decision. However, GAIS's defense held firm and even created some chances through Peter Ijeh, but none of them resulted in goals.
In the second half, both teams made substitutions in search of a breakthrough. GAIS brought in Joakim Edström in the 59th minute, and IFK Göteborg responded by substituting Joel Allansson and Hannes Stiller in the 40th and 60th minutes.
IFK Göteborg constantly pressured GAIS, but encountered a strong defense and a good goalkeeper in Tobias Johansson. Despite numerous attempts, no one could break the deadlock, and the match ended 0 - 0.
The audience at Gamla Ullevi witnessed a hard-fought match where both teams gave it their all. After the match, it became clear that IFK Göteborg remained in the middle of the table while GAIS continued to sit at the bottom. It would take a few more years before GAIS would qualify for Allsvenskan again.
