It was finally time for an exciting match between IK Zenith and IFK Björkö at Hovgårdsvallen. Unfortunately, neither team had the support of any spectators due to the pandemic. Referee Samir Suhonjic kicked off the match at 19:00, and both teams fought hard to take the lead.

Just one minute in, IK Zenith put pressure on IFK Björkö and managed to score the first goal for the home team, thanks in large part to Isaac Shears. IFK Björkö tried to bounce back but struggled to get through Zenith's defense. Marcus Larsson doubled the home team's lead in the 26th minute, and that lead held all the way to halftime.

IFK Björkö started the second half with more attacking pressure, and later, Andreas Odersjö scored a goal for the visitors in the 41st minute. However, it was not enough to turn the match around. IK Zenith's Karl Aronsson was substituted in the 63rd minute to strengthen the home team's midfield.

In the 69th minute, referee Samir Suhonjic issued a warning to Krister Körm of IFK Björkö, but Körm continued to play aggressively and received another warning in the 79th minute. Körm was sent off, leaving IFK Björkö to play with ten men against IK Zenith's eleven.

Isaac Jonsson scored his second goal for IK Zenith and the third for the home team in the 83rd minute. Jonsson was then substituted for Sven Hammarberg in the 85th minute. Anton Olsson, Robin Gustafsson, and Filip Andersson from IFK Björkö all received warnings in the final quarter of the match. Isaac Shears from IK Zenith also received a warning in the 90th minute for committing too many fouls.

IK Zenith ultimately won the match 3-1 and took three points in Division 3 Mellersta Götaland. IFK Björkö will need to regroup for their next match.
