The corner led Mikkelin Palloilijat's 方银剑 to fire away a dangerous shot which Jimmie Damm despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Isko Karalahti kicked well hit freekick during the 14th minute of the match. 15 minutes into the match, Mikkelin Palloilijat's 方银剑 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jimmie Damm narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Paulus Smet to make the kick off.

In the 81st minute Kalle Halminen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Asmo Okkonen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
