It was an intense match at Studenternas when Dalkurd welcomed Nordic United FC in Ettan Norra. In front of an audience of 412, the home team faced an early challenge in the form of Nordic United's Shergo Shhab, who scored the first goal of the match in the 19th minute with a nice assist from Benjamin Laturnus. Dalkurd tried to put pressure on their opponents in search of an equalizer but had no clear chances to push the ball into the net for the remainder of the first half.

The second half started with the same high tempo, and Dalkurd made several substitutions in an attempt to change the game. Nordic United responded with a substitution in the 69th minute, when Charbel Ceylan replaced Mergim Laci. But it was Dalkurd's substitution of Samuel Wikman that would pay off in the 88th minute when Wikman scored the equalizing goal to the delight of the crowd, assisted by Imed Louati.

Just when it seemed that the match would end in a draw, Nordic United received a final chance in the sixth minute of injury time. Charbel Ceylan stepped up and pushed the ball into the net, giving his team a 2-1 lead. Dalkurd desperately tried to level the score in the closing minutes, but Nordic United's defense held firm, and the match ended 2-1 to the visiting team.

The match was also characterized by several substitutions and two cautions for Nordic United, with both coach Hakan Bezgin and Charbel Ceylan receiving yellow cards from referee Kastriot Gerxhaliu. Nordic United's victory meant they climbed one place in the table, while Dalkurd dropped points to the teams chasing them at the top.
