Örebro faced Kalmar FF in a tough match at Behrn Arena in front of an audience of 5,209 spectators. The referee, Kaspar Sjöberg, maintained a strict approach, and the match featured scoring opportunities for both teams.
Kalmar FF was the first team to score after half an hour of play, when Romario Pereira Sipiao coolly converted a penalty following a solo run into the penalty area. However, Örebro was not about to give up easily, and just seven minutes later, they had the chance to equalize after a penalty situation in the opposite direction. Nahir Besara took the penalty for Örebro, but Kalmar FF's goalkeeper made a crucial save to keep his team in the lead.
Örebro ultimately got their revenge, and just before halftime, Filip Rogic leveled the score to 1-1 after a nice pass from the winger. The second half continued with excitement, but it wouldn't be until the 87th minute that the next goal was scored. Rogic passed to Besara, who entered the penalty area and set up the ball perfectly for Rogic, allowing him to tap in a 2-1 lead for Örebro.
Kalmar FF desperately tried to make a comeback, but Örebro held firm and thus secured three important points in the quest for a higher league position. Örebro allowed their substitutes to get playing time towards the end as a final defense against Kalmar's powerful attacks, and the match concluded with a score of 2-1 in favor of Örebro.
