However, Enköpings IS did not give up and fought their way back into the match. After fourteen minutes, Mohammad Mohammadi equalized for the away team with a deflection from a free kick. But Rö IK regained the lead ten minutes later when Karl Pettersson scored himself after an attack on the right flank.
The match became physical, and referee Ahmad Al-Shawi had to show two yellow cards, one for each team, before the halftime break. But just before the referee blew the whistle for halftime, something happened that would become a turning point in the match - Mohammad Mohammadi from Enköpings IS received his second yellow card and was sent off.
In the second half, Rö IK had a numerical advantage, and Karl Pettersson scored his second goal of the day just three minutes in. Enköpings IS tried to fight back, but Rö IK kept them at bay with tough defensive play.
With only twelve minutes left on the clock, Cristian Kathem increased Rö IK's lead when he received the ball on the edge and sent it into the goal.
