Kolbulia
Spectators: 7593 (Terracing: 5735, Seating: 1758, VIP seats: 100) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Frode Warholm started the match with the kick off. Ivar Leira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bastian Bjelland having to interfere. Ramsevik's Andreas Hillestad suffered a sore thigh after 4 minutes and couldn't finish the game. 5 minutes into the game, Terje Grønlie was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Kolbulia IF's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ramsevik the free kick. After some fancy dribbling in the 8th minute, Christoffer Møller managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ramsevik's supporters rose to their feet, but Christoffer Møller was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Idar Lilleeng breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Bastian Bjelland took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ivar Leira, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Terje Grønlie fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bastian Bjelland having to interfere. After having played for 22 minutes, Stian Kleven managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ramsevik's supporters crossed their fingers, but Stian Kleven was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Idar Lilleeng made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Stian Kleven in the 27th minute of play. Terje Grønlie could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 33rd minute of the match, but Bastian Bjelland made a huge save. After 42 played minutes Kolbulia IF got a freekick which was hit by Morten Marøy. In the 43rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Kolbulia IF's goalkeeper Idar Lilleeng, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Jens Seland struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Bastian Bjelland didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kolbulia IF.

In the 57th minute, Morten Marøy hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Thomas Moberg kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. Bastian Bjelland stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ivar Leira's shot from short distance in the 60th minute. Kolbulia IF's Terje Grønlie got a good chance for a goal in the 70th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Bastian Bjelland made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ivar Leira in the 72nd minute of play. Stian Kleven fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Idar Lilleeng having to interfere. If Terje Grønlie had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cent Kjøde took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 80th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Bastian Bjelland. Ramsevik's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Ivar Leira fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bastian Bjelland having to interfere. The supporters of Kolbulia IF booed when Ramsevik was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 87 match minutes in a wonderful position. Frode Warholm didn't get a good kick on the ball. 90 minutes had been played when some careless play by Ramsevik's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Jens Seland was slow to take the kick. During this time Kolbulia IF's players had a chance to rest. The corner ended in Jens Seland almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Ramsevik's Bastian Bjelland did a great save. After a defensive mix-up in Ramsevik's zone, Ivar Leira stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bastian Bjelland came out of the goal and Ivar Leira tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 97th minute, Terje Grønlie 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. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
