The kickoff was delayed initially due to several spectators not having made it into Behrn Arena in Örebro. The match start was further delayed when it was time for some to play with pyrotechnic devices.

A longer break then followed during the match after, among other things, a bottle was thrown onto the pitch.

We have had three disturbances during the match. Earlier in the match, there was a launched rocket, we have had thrown objects and several times now an object was thrown that landed right next to the goalkeeper. Then we choose to take the players off the pitch to ensure that we do what we can to prevent this from happening again, said match delegate Nicklas Lauwell in Max's broadcast, reports TV4 Fotbollskanalen.

The person who threw the glass bottle was identified and ejected from the arena.

Västerås SK won the match, which attracted 9,612 spectators, with 2–0.
