However, Markaryd would not allow the visitors to hold the lead for long, as Ljiridon Bajgora equalized with a free-kick goal in the 30th minute, putting pressure on Åsa. Shortly thereafter, just before the halftime break, Bajgora scored again, giving Markaryd a 2-1 lead.

Åsa attempted to make a comeback, but Markaryd held firm and managed to control the match. Åsa made three substitutions in hopes of turning the match around, but Markaryd maintained their grip and added a fourth goal in the 90th minute thanks to Bajgora, who scored this goal as well.
The match ended with a score of 4-1 in favor of Markaryd, securing an important victory and allowing them to climb in the table. Åsa leaves with a loss but takes lessons from the match. Assistant referees Dan Rosu and Victor Dancea did an excellent job alongside head referee Benit Ropica.
