Östersund quickly responded, however, with Dennis Widgren equalizing just four minutes later from a nice pass by Douglas Bergqvist. The match was evenly matched, and both teams created several dangerous goal-scoring opportunities.

In the 45th minute, it was IFK Göteborg who took the lead again, this time through Vajebah Sakor who scored with a header from a pass by Kharaishvili.

The match ended 2-1 in favor of IFK Göteborg, who took three important points in the battle to avoid relegation. Östersund remains just outside the top three in the standings.
