Spectators: 7762 (Terracing: 5823, Seating: 1785, VIP seats: 154) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Veeti Eskola took the kick off in the first half of the match. Through an outstanding action, after 3 minutes, Kauno Haapaniemi successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. If Ossi Kangasmäki had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Team Vires booed when HK Scan was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Atso Normio didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 14th minute Veeti Eskola shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arsi Rontti saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to HK Scan getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Jyri Vainionpää hit a great ball. When the match clock showed 19 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Veeti Eskola sped through HK Scan's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Arsi Rontti. 22 minutes into the match, Team Vires's goal looked a bit too open when Ossi Kangasmäki came free, but Kauno Haapaniemi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Kim Tuovinen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ilmari Saravo blasted a shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Kauno Haapaniemi having to make a save. With a little luck, Team Vires's Kauno Haapaniemi got control of the ball when Ossi Kangasmäki tried to sneak it across the goal line. Kim Tuovinen hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Jussi Jokila struck a weak shot in the 55th minute. Arsi Rontti didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Team Vires.
