At halftime, Östersund wanted to change the draw and substituted Douglas Bergqvist for Ronald Mukiibi. This turned out to be a good decision. In the 54th minute, Curtis Edwards scored after a nice attack, giving Östersund the lead again at 2-1.

Östersund then quickly scored two more goals through Jamie Ryan Hopcutt and Dino Islamovic in the 69th and 71st minutes. IK Sirius FK tried to respond with a penalty goal by Jesper Arvidsson in the 73rd minute, but Östersund ultimately took home the victory with a score of 5-2 after Sotirios Papagiannopoulos scored the fifth goal in the final minutes of the match.

The match was a true card fest, with seven yellow cards issued, five of which went to the visiting team IK Sirius FK. It was an entertaining match from start to finish, and Östersund could finally celebrate earning three points.
