Fredrik Oppong blew the whistle to start the match between Helsingborgs IF and Athletic Eskilstuna at Olympia in front of an audience of 5,204. The home team, which is second to last in the league standings, had a slight advantage in ball possession during the first half but could not capitalize on their chances to score. Instead, it was the visiting team that took the spotlight when Abdul-Halik Hudu received a warning after 28 minutes.

During halftime, Helsingborg's coach decided to make a substitution, bringing in Ervin Gigovic to replace Rasmus Jönsson. However, it would take a while before the coaching change made any significant impact on the pitch.

After an hour of play, Athletic Eskilstuna made two substitutions, with Aliyu Yakubu and Adam Larsson coming on for Emmanuel Agyeman Duah and Oskar Lindberg. Just a few minutes later, Sergio Mendiguchia Iglesias received a warning.

After 68 minutes, Athletic Eskilstuna made their third substitution, bringing Ishak Shamoun onto the field in place of David Palomino. Barely three minutes later, it was Helsingborg's turn to make their second substitution, with Amin Al-Hamawi coming in for Amar Muhsin.

With only a few minutes left in the match, Athletic Eskilstuna made two more substitutions as Mattias Mitku and Mattis Adolfsson came on for Sergio Mendiguchia Iglesias and Yagan Sasman. Immediately after this, Emil Hellman from Helsingborg received a warning.

The match became incredibly tough and dramatic as four players, two from each side, received warnings in the final moments of the game. But in the fifth minute of stoppage time, the long-awaited goal came for Helsingborg when Amin Al-Hamawi shot the ball in, assisted by Gigovic. The match ended with a victory for Helsingborg, with a score of 1-0.
