Botvik
Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jerzy Werra started the match with the kick off. In the 6th minute Sebastian Käller shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Heikki Räsänen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Heikki Räsänen didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Sebastian Käller went, in the 8th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. In the 11thth minute of the game Sebastian Käller who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Botvik FC's Heikki Räsänen was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After 11 minutes, Sebastian Käller made it 0-2 with a short kick to the right side. Botvik FC's Heikki Räsänen tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 18th minute the ball was on its way in behind Botvik FC's goalkeeper Heikki Räsänen, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Gerardo Jobo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Wilhelm Galle having to interfere. Kind of Blue's Anastasios Pallini was substituted for Joel Gaxan. After a rather tough play, Kind of Blue's Joel Barbosa got a free kick in the 25th minute. Kind of Blue's Wilhelm Galle played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gerardo Jobo in the 39th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 43rd minute, Joacim Hansson managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kind of Blue's supporters rose to their feet, but Joacim Hansson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Heikki Räsänen breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The supporters of Botvik FC booed when Kind of Blue was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anastasios Pallini didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 47th minute Sebastian Käller shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Heikki Räsänen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Botvik FC made a substitution. Usko Äijälä replaced Aadolf Ylimäki. When Sebastian Käller came up free with the goalie in the 53rd minute, the Kind of Blue 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 Sebastian Käller couldn't finish the play. Kind of Blue's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Joacim Hansson in the 59th minute. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Botvik FC's goalie and right to Joel Barbosa. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Botvik FC's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Wilhelm Galle showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Usko Äijälä, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute. If Sebastian Käller had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 73rd minute, Sebastian Käller left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Kind of Blue fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-4. Kind of Blue's Östen Högman was substituted for Zhuo Ke Le. Kind of Blue's Jonny Lagerberg was substituted for Anastasios Pallini. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Sebastian Käller in the 80th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Heikki Räsänen saved Botvik FC from getting behind. If Östen Högman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Heikki Räsänen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sebastian Käller in the 92nd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Östen Högman in the 97th minute of play forced Botvik FC's goalkeeper Heikki Räsänen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The Kind of Blue supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Kind of Blue would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
