Östersund faced Dalkurd at Jämtkraft Arena in a Friday match that turned out to be an easy trip for the home team. Östersund, sitting in sixth place in the standings, were the favorites going into the match against Dalkurd, who were second last in the table and had a tough start to the season. The match kicked off and Östersund quickly took control. After thirteen minutes, Curtis Edwards took a free kick that passed Dalkurd's defense and found its way into the goalkeeper's right corner – 1-0 to Östersund.

Just a minute later, it got even better for the home team when Jamie Ryan Hopcutt capitalized on a cross from Hosam Aiesh and made it 2-0 for Östersund. Dalkurd tried to find a way back into the game, but it was Östersund who dominated possession and created the best chances in the first half. At halftime, Dalkurd substituted Kebba Ceesay for Andrew Michael Stadler in hopes of igniting some spark.

The second half continued in the same vein as the first. Östersund had several great opportunities, but it wasn't until the 87th minute that they managed to extend their lead. Noah Sonko Sundberg headed in a cross from Curtis Edwards, making it 3-0 for the home team. Östersund now had complete control of the match and could finally relax and enjoy the gameplay.
