Akkala FC
Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) 11 minutes into the game, Joonas Tukio was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Kylmälä's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Akkala FC the free kick. Jyrki Ventos short, quick shot in the 17thth minute got Keimo Kananen to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Kylmälä's Keimo Kananen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Marko Mäntylä in the 18th minute of play. Marko Mäntylä could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 22nd minute of the match, but Keimo Kananen made a huge save. 28 minutes into the match, Jyrki Vento notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Kylmälä's Keimo Kananen. Keimo Kananen was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Jyrki Vento struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Keimo Kananen didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Akkala FC. After a rather tough play, Kylmälä's Joonas Tukio got a free kick in the 34th minute. In the 35th minute of the match, Marko Mäntylä tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Keimo Kananen saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Keimo Kananen was a little too slow when Marko Mäntylä got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 37th minute. The score was now 4-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jyrki Vento in the 41st minute of play forced Kylmälä's goalkeeper Keimo Kananen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Kylmälä's zone, Jyrki Vento stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Keimo Kananen came out of the goal and Jyrki Vento tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Sami Veikkanen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Päiviö Koponen in the 46th minute of the match. Sami Veikkanen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Roni Kivimäki, who was totally free with the ball in the 47th minute.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Roni Kivimäki made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jyrki Vento in the 51st minute of play forced Kylmälä's goalkeeper Keimo Kananen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 52 played minutes Akkala FC got a freekick which was hit by Klaus Teräs. Sami Veikkanen was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 54th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Veikko Hana. Jyrki Vento sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jyrki Vento fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Keimo Kananen having to interfere. When the match clock showed 64 minutes, the score became 5-0 when Marko Mäntylä sped through Kylmälä's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Keimo Kananen. 6-0 became the score in the 68th minute when Marko Mäntylä elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Jyrki Vento in the 76th minute of play forced Kylmälä's goalkeeper Keimo Kananen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 83rd minute, Jyrki Vento got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 93rdth minute of the game Jyrki Vento who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Kylmälä's Keimo Kananen was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Akkala FC fully deserved thier win.
