It was an eventful match in many ways, where referee Joakim Östling issued a total of six yellow cards and made two substitutions for both IK Brage and Halmstad.
The match started with a yellow card for IK Brage in the 17th minute for a foul, and just a few minutes later, another IK Brage player received a yellow card. Tough play continued throughout the match, with another yellow card awarded to IK Brage early in the second half.
IK Brage chose to substitute in two players in the 56th minute in an effort to improve their offense, which turned out to be a smart decision as just two minutes later, Anton Lundin struck a beautiful volley into the net, giving IK Brage the lead.
Halmstad did not let this goal discourage them, but they failed to capitalize on their attacks despite bringing in two new players later in the match. Instead, it was IK Brage who extended their lead through Christian Kouakou in the 74th minute, bringing the score to 2-0.
IK Brage finished with a strong victory, while Halmstad went home empty-handed. It was a well-played match from both teams and a well-deserved win for IK Brage.
