Early in the match, referee Johan Krantz showed a yellow card to Falkenbergs FF's Johannes Vall. GAIS responded with a warning for Daniel Janevski in the 35th minute. With the match so evenly matched, this was a situation that neither team wanted to deal with.
As we approached the second half, GAIS scored the first goal of the match through Luka Mijaljevic, who headed in the ball from a perfect cross by Dusan Djuric. However, Falkenbergs FF did not want to leave the field with a loss and continued to fight.

GAIS responded in the 62nd minute when Alexander Leksell came on the field instead of Sebastian Möller. More substitutions followed as the coaches aimed to capitalize on every chance and opportunity to strengthen their teams' positions on the field.
With ten minutes remaining in the match, the game was still very evenly matched, and Falkenbergs FF was desperately trying to get the ball in. GAIS had gained momentum, but an important warning for Alexander Leksell in the 81st minute meant that the team had to play without him for the rest of the match.
At the end of the match, Falkenbergs FF finally managed to create a chance when Johannes Vall scored a goal, assisted by Enock Kwakwa, resulting in a 1-1 tie. GAIS continued to fight but could not force a win, and the match ended in a draw.
This was a match characterized by high intensity, skill, and struggle until the very end. GAIS played well and led for a significant part of the match, but thanks to a strong second half, Falkenbergs FF managed to take a point home. The referee trio of Johan Krantz, Anders Böwing, and Mesud Broström Kahrimanovic maintained tight control over the match and allowed no unfair play among the teams.
