At the well-attended Stora Valla arena in Degerfors, the match kicked off between the home team and Assyriska FF in the Superettan. Despite a balanced start with chances on both sides, it was Degerfors who would gain a decisive advantage in the match. After only seven minutes of play, Peter Samuelsson headed in the opening goal for the home team, assisted by Tobias Solberg.
Assyriska attempted to get back into the game but instead faced a cold shower after 15 minutes when Tobias Solberg intercepted a nice pass from Erik Jernberg and scored Degerfors' second goal behind the visiting team's goalkeeper. An attempt by Assyriska FF to reduce the deficit before halftime instead led to a warning for Jens Jakobsson.
During halftime, Assyriska FF opted to make a few changes, while Degerfors kept the same lineup. However, the substitutions made little difference for the guests, who struggled to break through Degerfors' defense. The home team had several chances to extend their lead but missed their opportunities.
After 71 minutes of play, Degerfors chose to substitute the goal scorer Peter Samuelsson in favor of Alexander Andersson. With only ten minutes left in the match, Assyriska FF also received a warning, this time for Erik Nilsson. In a final attempt to reduce the score, Assyriska brought in Nemrut Awrohum for Alexander Nilsson.
The match ultimately ended 2-0 in favor of Degerfors IF after a strong performance from the home team, which controlled the game without needing to get overly stressed. Assyriska FF, on the other hand, returned home disappointed and hopes for better results in the future.
