It was an exciting match played at Gamla Ullevi between IFK Göteborg and Kalmar FF. With an audience of 17,340 people, the atmosphere was high before the match. IFK Göteborg was in second place in the table and needed to win to have a chance at the title, while Kalmar FF was more or less safe from relegation.
The match began with a goal from Kalmar FF when Tobias Eriksson scored in the seventh minute, assisted by Romario Pereira Sipiao. Kalmar FF continued to play strongly, but IFK Göteborg fought hard to find balance in the game. A warning was issued to Kalmar FF's Papa Alioune Diouf in the nineteenth minute. IFK Göteborg's Sebastian Eriksson also received a warning in the twentieth minute, and Kalmar FF's Ismael Silva Lima was cautioned five minutes later.
Kalmar FF remained dominant in the game, and Diouf scored the team’s second goal in the fortieth minute, assisted by Marcus Gotte. Everything seemed to indicate it would be a tough match for IFK Göteborg until Mads Winther Albaek scored his first goal for IFK Göteborg from a corner kick in the second minute of stoppage time.
The second half began with a warning for Kalmar FF's Viktor Elm in the fiftieth minute, while Søren Rieks from IFK Göteborg received a warning in the sixtieth minute. IFK Göteborg desperately tried to find a second goal and made a substitution in the seventieth minute when Riku Olavi Riski came on for Jakob Svarrer Ankersen.
Kalmar FF also made two substitutions in the seventy-sixth minute when David Elm came on for Marcus Antonsson and Rasmus Elm replaced Viktor Elm. David Elm received a warning in the eighty-third minute for unclear play.
IFK Göteborg finally found their second goal in the eighty-fourth minute when Mads Winther Albaek scored after a header assist from Emil Salomonsson. IFK Göteborg's last substitution took place in the eighty-fourth minute when Mikael Boman came on for Sebastian Eriksson, while Tom Pettersson replaced Hjálmar Jónsson in the eighty-eighth minute.
Despite desperate attempts from both teams, neither was able to score again, and the match ended in a draw. For IFK Göteborg, who had hoped to win for a chance at the title, there was still a reason to be satisfied with second place in the table. Kalmar FF, on the other hand, was likely relieved to have avoided relegation during this season.
