In the 69th minute, Degerfors IF’s match hero, Daniel Sundgren, received a red card and was sent off after a tough tackle. Degerfors was forced to substitute Alexander Andersson for Marcus de Bruin in the ensuing play.

IFK Värnamo took the opportunity to bring on Joel Löw for Elmin Kurbegovic in the 70th minute.

In the 71st minute, it was again Degerfors that received a red card. This time, Johan Bertilsson had to leave the field after a second yellow card.
