The match between IF Karlstad and AFC Eskilstuna was a closely contested affair, ultimately resulting in a 2-1 victory for the away side, Eskilstuna. A critical factor was Eskilstuna's opportunistic finishing, with their quick early goal setting the tone. Despite being largely outperformed in key areas, such as corners and shots, Eskilstuna managed to make their limited chances count, scoring twice from just a few attempts on target.

In contrast, IF Karlstad dominated possession and certainly created more opportunities, as reflected in their 12 corner kicks compared to Eskilstuna's solitary corner. Karlstad's approach created pressure around Eskilstuna's goal, but they presumably faced issues converting these chances into goals. This inability to capitalize on set-pieces and maintain offensive pressure was a significant factor in their defeat.

Both teams displayed disciplined defense, evidenced by the lack of yellow and red cards, indicating tactical restraint and focus in-game management. However, Karlstad's three offsides suggest an eagerness to break through Eskilstuna's defense, though it often came at the cost of stalled attacks. Ultimately, Eskilstuna's efficient use of possession and clinical finishing in the few opportunities they had was decisive, showcasing superior strategic implementation despite Karlstad's offensive superiority in other statistical areas.
