After 22 minutes, the goal that would prove to be the only one of the match came. Romario Pereira Sipiao was given the opportunity from the penalty spot and confidently placed the ball in the net.

At halftime, Athletic Eskilstuna made a substitution in hopes of changing the course of the match. Emmanuel Yaw Frimpong came on in place of Jernade Ronnel Meade. However, the substitution did not make the difference they had hoped for, and Kalmar remained the stronger team.

The match concluded with a series of cards and substitutions. Both Kalmar FF’s Filip Sachpekidis and Athletic Eskilstuna’s Alexander Michel Melki received a yellow card.
