Referee Jonas Eriksson, along with assistant referees Mathias Klasenius and Daniel Wärnmark, kept tight control of the match, which featured few scoring chances.

IFK Göteborg substituted Emil Salomonsson after 75 minutes, bringing in Darijan Bojanic to create more offensive opportunities, but it was still IF Elfsborg that had the majority of the scoring chances.

IF Elfsborg took a risk by substituting Simon Hedlund for Andréas Klarström after 81 minutes. However, it was not enough to score, and the match ended as goalless as it started.

IFK Göteborg chose to substitute Jakob Olsson Johansson for Martin Smedberg Dalence after 86 minutes, while IF Elfsborg brought in Adam Lundqvist for Lars Nilsson in the 87th minute. Finally, IF Elfsborg made their last substitution by bringing on Mikkel Beckmann for Viktor Prodell after 93 minutes.
