The first half stayed tight and goalless, with the earliest flashpoint arriving inside the opening minute when Raymond Adjei went into the book at 0'59''. Clear chances were scarce before the break, and the contest only truly opened up after halftime.
Varbergs BoIS found the breakthrough on 55'49''. Shanyder Borgelin finished the move to put the home side ahead, with Gustav Broman providing the assist. Osters IF tried to change the rhythm from the bench, sending on Karl Wendt for Filip Olsson on 65'37'', and the move paid off quickly.
Wendt drew Osters IF level at 69'50'', making it 1-1 and setting up a tense final 20 minutes. Both teams continued to rotate, with Varbergs BoIS introducing Noah Johansson, Anton Thorsson and Jonathan Nilsson as they searched for a second goal, while the visitors made further attacking changes of their own.
The decisive moment came late. Erion Sadiku struck at 88'28'', with Edvin Tellgren supplying the assist, to restore the lead at 2-1. Varbergs BoIS then managed the closing stages to lock down the result. For all the late tension, the summary was simple: the home side took their chances at the key moments and claimed the points.
