Halmstad could hardly have asked for a faster start. Carneil scored after 0'59'', with Joel Allansson providing the assist, and the home crowd had barely settled when the game flipped again. Ladefoged equalised at 3'26'' from an Ismet Lushaku setup, and Vasteraas kept pressing. Their reward came at 25'36'', when Axel finished with Ladefoged this time the creator to make it 2-1.
The match swung harder against the hosts on 33'12'', when Boman was shown a red card. Halmstad reached the interval trailing and then made a change at the break, sending on Niilo Maenpaa for Omar Faraj. Any hopes of a comeback were hit almost immediately after the hour. Axel struck again at 62'00'' to stretch the lead to 3-1 and give the score a more decisive look.
Vasteraas even had the chance to add another, but Ladefoged missed a penalty at 66'26''. A yellow card for Victor Wernersson followed, while Oliver Kapsimalis and Rami Kaib were booked for Halmstad. The final summary was straightforward: Vasteraas took their chances, handled the game well after the red card, and left with the result.
