The match between Östersund and Östers IF started with thunderstorms hitting Jämtkraft Arena. After a break of about 20 minutes, play resumed, but it wasn't enough for Östersund to win. In the second half, Jabir Abdihakim Ali managed to score from close range in the 70th minute, but Carl Lundahl Persson made a crucial save. After halftime, the match was interrupted due to thunderstorms, and players had to leave the field. When play resumed in the 94th minute, Emil Özkan decided the game with the only goal for ÖFK.
- It was quite a tense situation, the ball came in front of me, and then it was just a matter of putting it there, says Emil Özkan to TV4 after the match.
Östers IF's coach Daniel Friberg said: - We are not at their level. They are better than us in all aspects of the game. They play faster and better, and we are far from them throughout the entire match. We didn't get it right today.
Östersund tried to take an early initiative at home against Östers IF and created several promising attacks during the first half, but the best chance of the match went to the guests. Samuel Burakovsky had a good opportunity in the 30th minute but couldn't beat Rasmus Forsell.
