Spectators: 8033 (Terracing: 6025, Seating: 1848, VIP seats: 160) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ailar Pärt started the match with the kick off. After 3 minutes, Armas Heinola made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. FC Rebel's Ando Roosaare tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Ando Roosaare showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ken Nordtveit in the 5th minute of the match. 11 minutes into the game, Marti Künnapuu recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Morten Ueland. Marti Künnapuu showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-1. In the 13th minute, Filip Finne hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Morten Ueland made a fantastic save in the 14th minute, when Tom Rank sent off a good shot on target. Cheeky Nuts United's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Ken Nordtveit in the 18th minute. Cheeky Nuts United's Morten Ueland proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 20th minute of the match, managed to save Cheeky Nuts United from getting a goal against them. Kalev Uss charged in rather forcefully in the 29th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Kalev Uss the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 29 played minutes FC Rebel got a freekick which was hit by Kalev Uss. Ken Nordtveit hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. In the 33rd minute, Bjarne Holt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Norman Võrk was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 34th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The referee felt a red card was in order, 37 minutes into the game, when Norman Võrk put in a rough tackle. 43 minutes into the match, Armas Heinola had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ando Roosaare. FC Rebel's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Armas Heinola was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. After the first half Cheeky Nuts United were leading 1-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Armas Heinola made the kick off in the second half. The referee felt a red card was in order, 51 minutes into the game, when Fredrik Sandum put in a rough tackle. In a very dangerous position, a player in Cheeky Nuts United fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 51st minute. Penalty! In the 53rd minute there was a penalty for FC Rebel. Ivari Mäidu stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Morten Ueland. 2-3. Anton Johansson succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-4 in the 61st playminute. Filip Finne's late challenge caught a FC Rebel's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Filip Finne helped the player get up and apologised. Morten Ueland showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Magnus Pulver in the 67th minute of the match. Udo Talts kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. After having played for 76 minutes, Marti Künnapuu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Rebel's supporters crossed their fingers, but Marti Künnapuu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Magnus Pulver fell near the penalty area in the 84th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC Rebel's protests and gave Magnus Pulver a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to FC Rebel getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Magnus Pulver hit a great ball. FC Rebel's Magnus Pulver got a good chance for a goal in the 93rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The crowd rose to their feet as Cheeky Nuts United's Anton Johansson slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Ando Roosaare. That made the score 2-5 after 96 minutes of play.
