After the goal, Östers IF tried to get back into the match but instead lost focus, and Stefan Karlsson received a yellow card after a tough tackle. GIF Sundsvall kept up the tempo and increased their lead shortly after half-time when Hannes Sigurdsson scored a goal that silenced the home crowd.
With a two-goal lead, GIF Sundsvall continued to control the game and took a comfortable victory. Östers IF tried to come back through substitutions, including Christoffer Katenda, who had the chance to showcase himself, but it was to no avail.
