Adolfsbergs IK faced Arboga Södra IF at home, at Lugnets IP artificial grass, in front of an audience of 50 people. Before the match, Adolfsbergs IK was in seventh place in the standings while the visiting Arboga Södra IF was second to last.
The match started promisingly for the away team as Dervis Grabus scored 0-1 just one minute into the game. Grabus demonstrated his excellent form and netted 0-2 from a free kick in the sixth minute. Half an hour into the match, Grabus struck again, this time from the penalty spot, thereby scoring his third goal of the evening and giving Arboga Södra IF an unexpectedly dominant 0-3 lead.
Arboga Södra IF's Gustav Gustafsson received a yellow card in the 38th minute. In the same minute, goal scorer Grabus also picked up a yellow card, receiving a caution from the referee team.
After a long period of disjointed play, Adolfsbergs' Jonathan Forsberg managed to put a goal in the top corner from a goal kick in the 66th minute, reducing the score to 1-3, which turned out to be the only goal for the home team. Hoping to spark some momentum, the home team's coach made substitutions, bringing in Sebastian Hillman for Max Lindborg in the 72nd minute.
However, it soon became clear that Arboga Södra IF was not satisfied with just three goals, and in the 77th minute, William Lindblom made it 1-4, truly sealing Adolfsberg's chances of winning the match. With only a few minutes left on the clock, the two teams made substitutions. Arboga Södra IF's Rijad Babovic was replaced by Dennis Larsson, while Adolfsberg's coach brought in Kristian Kurt and Görgis Alan instead of Emil Nilsson and Andreas Klingström.
The final goal of the match came in the 90th minute when William Lindblom scored his second goal of the evening, ensuring a 5-1 victory for the visiting Arboga Södra IF. Despite the home advantage, it was Arboga that controlled the match and outplayed Adolfsberg. The warning given to the away players surprised with the lack of any serious reaction from Adolfsberg's side, and it was evident that Arboga Södra IF was the clearly superior team that evening.
