Spectators: 7583 (Terracing: 5688, Seating: 1744, VIP seats: 151) Christian Krog received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Sondre Asp tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 10th minute, Jens Sviland 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. If Erland Midtun had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Christian Krog sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Rastaman United's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Vebjørn Borgen in the 31st minute. Vebjørn Borgen made a great header on Rastaman United's corner, it was just that Melsbø's Felix Dahl managed to reach the ball for a save. Halvard Baardsen hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. Rastaman United were awarded a corner in the 41th minute after Melsbø's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Vebjørn Borgen took the corner. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Melsbø's goalie and right to Henrik Nyberg. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Melsbø's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. In the 44th minute Jørn Lillegård shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felix Dahl saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

After 53 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Rastaman United! 62 minutes into the game, Melsbø's Christian Krog nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Sondre Asp made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. Jørn Lillegård might have been able to make a better finish in the 69th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Felix Dahl. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jørn Lillegård ran back to his position shaking his head. After having played for 78 minutes, Petter Lande managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rastaman United's supporters crossed their fingers, but Petter Lande was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jørn Lillegård received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Felix Dahl tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Christian Krog's late challenge caught a Rastaman United's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
