IK Brage, who led the league table before the match, began with high intensity and pressed Sandvikens IF from the start.

After a tough first half with scoring opportunities for both sides, the teams went to halftime with the score 0 - 0.
In the second half, IK Brage continued to press but encountered a well-organized Sandvikens IF, where both the defense and the goalkeeper held firm. The match became increasingly challenging, and after 49 minutes, referee Jesper Ekwall had no choice but to show a yellow card for a foul tackle by Carlos Garcia Ambrosiani of IK Brage.
After Ardian Rexhepi of IK Brage received a warning in the 70th minute, the coach of IK Brage, Thomas Askebrand, felt compelled to substitute Anton Lundin for Memocan Elalmis in the 71st minute. Sandvikens IF also made a substitution, bringing on John Junior Igbarumah to replace Namir Alispahic in the 90th minute.
Despite several dangerous chances, neither team could score, and the match ended 0 - 0. This result was somewhat disappointing for the home team IK Brage, who had hoped to secure a victory. Nevertheless, IK Brage still leads the table while Sandvikens IF is in tenth place.
