It turned out to be a tough match for Motala AIF FK when they faced Gefle IF FF at Gavlevallen in Ettan Norra.

Gefle took the lead through Oscar Lundin after eleven minutes of play. They continued to press and create chances, but Motala held firm and defended well against the subsequent attacks.
Eric Forsberg was the second player from Motala to receive a warning after a tough tackle on a Gefle player just before halftime. Gefle took a lead into the break.
In the second half, both Motala and Gefle continued to work hard. Iu Ranera Grau was cautioned for Gefle after a strained tackle on a Motala player after being put under pressure.
Motala made their first substitution when Alem Nezirevic came on for Hugo Östlund Rödlund in the 63rd minute. Grau was replaced by Albin Lohikangas for Gefle shortly after. Motala also substituted Prince Isaac Kouame for Daniel Norrby, and Gefle replaced Sebastian Friman with Pontus Jonsson just after Isaac's substitution was completed.
Cihan Sener was also substituted for Oskar Karlsson for Gefle in the 77th minute.
