The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 9 minutes into the match, Ilmari Metsäranta notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of jAriN nAAkAt's Aki Pursiainen. Aki Pursiainen was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After having played for 14 minutes, Atro Kaarniemi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. jAriN nAAkAt's supporters crossed their fingers, but Atro Kaarniemi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 15 played minutes Kallbäcken IFK got a freekick which was hit by Kimmo Lepistö. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Kimmo Lepistö during the 19th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Kimmo Lepistö kicked well hit freekick during the 19th minute of the match. jAriN nAAkAt's Aki Pursiainen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Joonas Pihlainen in the 22nd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kaapo Heinikallio in the 26th minute of play forced jAriN nAAkAt's goalkeeper Aki Pursiainen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aarno Känsäkangas in the 28th minute of play forced Kallbäcken IFK's goalkeeper Aapo Sulku to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Atro Kaarniemi struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Aapo Sulku didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for jAriN nAAkAt. Atro Kaarniemi could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 36th minute of the match, but Aapo Sulku made a huge save. Seppo Lehti kicked well hit freekick during the 39th minute of the match. A hard shot 41 in the game by Atro Kaarniemi from a close distance when the talented Aapo Sulku managed to make a qualified save. Kallbäcken IFK's players were relieved. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kaapo Heinikallio to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute, jAriN nAAkAt's Pauli Viitakoski seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Pauli Viitakoski the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of jAriN nAAkAt protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Pauli Viitakoski had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The supporters of Kallbäcken IFK booed when jAriN nAAkAt was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 53 match minutes in a wonderful position. Pauli Viitakoski didn't get a good kick on the ball. Aapo Sulku showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Atro Kaarniemi in the 57th minute of the match. A collision led to Kallbäcken IFK getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Kimmo Peltomaa hit a great ball. Atro Kaarniemi struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. Aapo Sulku didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for jAriN nAAkAt. In the 66th match minute, Kallbäcken IFK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Kaapo Heinikallio to maneuver through the defense. Aki Pursiainen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kaapo Heinikallio in the 71st minute of the match. Viljami Pakaslahti sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Viljami Pakaslahti might have been able to make a better finish in the 82nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Aapo Sulku. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Viljami Pakaslahti ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 85th play minute Joonas Pihlainen came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Aki Pursiainen. 0-2. jAriN nAAkAt's Aki Pursiainen proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 94th minute of the match, managed to save jAriN nAAkAt from getting a goal against them. The jAriN nAAkAt manager could be seen shouting at his players as they walked down the tunnel after the match. He was clearly angry that they had squandered their superior possession, allowing Kallbäcken IFK to win.
