Spectators: 7776 (Terracing: 5833, Seating: 1788, VIP seats: 155) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jaakob Kuusela started the match with the kick off. In the 5th minute Veli Lehtilä shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Untamo Hedberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Pekka Kamppuri kicked well hit freekick during the 8th minute of the match. After having played for 9 minutes, Pasi Manneroos managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Raiteepee's supporters crossed their fingers, but Pasi Manneroos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 16 minutes into the match, Raiteepee's goal looked a bit too open when Aatu Uitto came free, but Untamo Hedberg reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Samuli Markkanen hit a great freekick 17 minutes into the match. Veli Lehtilä fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Untamo Hedberg having to interfere.

Veli Lehtilä sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. When Veli Lehtilä came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Tuuri IFK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Veli Lehtilä couldn't finish the play. Reino Virolainen was a little too slow when Jaakob Kuusela got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 47th minute. The score was now 1-0. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The wind increased when Veli Lehtilä made the kick off in the second half. Iisakki Miettinen hit a great freekick 55 minutes into the match. If Veli Lehtilä had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Aatu Uitto in the 64thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Untamo Hedberg, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Untamo Hedberg didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Aatu Uitto went, in the 67th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score.
