The rest of the first half lived up to expectations, and it was a tough and balanced match where both teams fought hard to take the lead. GAIS coach Stefan Jakobsson received a warning in the 44th minute for protesting against the referee, and shortly after, Jönköping's Junes Barny received a yellow card.
