It was a hot start to the game with an early goal from Ajdin Zeljkovic from a penalty kick, and a yellow card for Ricardo Henrique Schuck Friedrich from Kalmar FF.

Kalmar FF fought until the end and managed to get a consolation goal from Deniz Hümmet in the 70th minute, but it was not enough to get back into the match. IFK Värnamo controlled the game and even made two substitutions in the final minutes while Kalmar FF desperately tried to score a second goal.

The match ended 1-3, marking a heavy loss for Kalmar FF at home. IFK Värnamo, on the other hand, continues their impressive form and shows that they are a team to be reckoned with in Allsvenskan.
