The clash between IK Oddevold and Umea FC in the Superettan was a tightly contested matchup, ultimately settled by a single goal. IK Oddevold secured an early lead with a goal scored at 41 minutes and 29 seconds into the first half. This strategic early advantage allowed them to dictate the tempo of the match, focusing on maintaining their lead rather than aggressively pushing for additional goals. The lack of additional goals from Oddevold can be attributed largely to their solitary corner kick and fewer attempts on goal compared to Umea FC.

Umea FC, despite playing disciplined football with only one yellow card in the second half, could not capitalize on their attacking opportunities. They managed more corner kicks—three in total—which suggests they had more chances to apply pressure in the penalty area. However, their efforts were stymied by either Oddevold's defense or misfires on goal. Additionally, Umea FC was caught offside once, indicating a struggle with timing and positioning in offensive plays, which may have undermined their attacking efficiency.

IK Oddevold's discipline in defense was noteworthy, conceding only five fouls throughout the match. However, Oddevold's aggression is reflected in the three yellow cards accumulated in the second half. Despite this aggression and potential risk of disciplinary reprisal, they remained composed to preserve their early lead. The contrasting efficiency in defense between the two sides, with Umea committing just two fouls and remaining relatively card-free, points to Oddevold's strategic decision to engage physically to disrupt Umea's rhythm, which was pivotal in their victory.
