Amo got a flying start with five straight goals before Sävehof found their way into the match. Despite the deficit, the guests managed to work their way back, largely thanks to a more stable defense and a breakthrough from Magnus Persson.
In the second half, the game became more even. Amo's Danish star Mathias Mark Pedersen continued to deliver – twelve goals in total – while Magnus Persson took great responsibility in Sävehof's attack. When Truls Grøtta put his team in the lead, the Partille guests seemed to be able to go for the win.
But Amo refused to give up. With a few minutes left, the home team turned the match around again. Lynx Beverskog and Hampus Karlsson scored the decisive goals and completed the upset.
