Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Chris Nygaard started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute Chris Nygaard shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jüri Vanakool saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 6 minutes into the match, JK Sultan's goal looked a bit too open when Chris Nygaard came free, but Jüri Vanakool reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Keld Paulsen made an important save on a dangerous shot by Robert Nurmsalu in the 15th minute. Chris Nygaard received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Jüri Vanakool tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Gualterio Matteo made in the 30th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Robert Nurmsalu. Janari Veiderma sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Karl Arenius sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jüri Vanakool came out of the goal in the 38th minute to try and stop a shot by Denmark's Chris Nygaard. But to his dismay, Chris Nygaard quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Karl Arenius in the 43rdth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Keld Paulsen, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. In the 48th minute, JK Sultan's Janari Veiderma ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Keld Paulsen. Keld Paulsen yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Janari Veiderma was the one to do the kick off. A collision led to Denmark getting a freekick after 54 minutes play. Mikkel Wulff hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Denmark's zone, Janari Veiderma stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Keld Paulsen came out of the goal and Janari Veiderma tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 61 played minutes Denmark got a freekick which was hit by Bertram Svenningsen. After a rather tough play, JK Sultan's Maido Roos got a free kick in the 63rd minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Mikkel Wulff managed to get in a good position for a shot. Denmark's supporters rose to their feet, but Mikkel Wulff was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jüri Vanakool breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 65 played minutes JK Sultan got a freekick which was hit by Mati Jürisoo. JK Sultan's defense didn't have a chance, in the 76th minute, when Chris Nygaard scored to the left of an out of position Jüri Vanakool, making the score, 1-2. Jürgen Muruaas kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. In the 79th minute of the match Chris Nygaard shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Jüri Vanakool showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After some careless play in the Denmark defense, Karl Arenius kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Keld Paulsen. The Denmark fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Keld Paulsen should have stopped the shot. If Robert Nurmsalu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Denmark's Keld Paulsen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Janari Veiderma in the 93rd minute of play. Gualterio Matteo made in the 97th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Karl Arenius however managed to control. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
