Djurgarden took control before the half-hour when Hegland opened the scoring at 27'45'', finishing a move created by Johansson. Halmstads BK then picked up the only card of the game shortly before the interval, with Kaib shown yellow at 42'38''. The hosts kept pressing and doubled their lead at 44'56'', Hegland meeting another Johansson assist to give the first half a decisive shape.
The home side did not let up after the restart. At 56'06'', Stromland Lien converted from Fallenius' assist to stretch the lead to three and complete the scoring. That third goal settled the contest and became the defining moment of the match summary, with Halmstad unable to respond.
