Spectators: 7526 (Terracing: 5645, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Erik Stephansson kicked off to start the match. If Ingmar Ott had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Maximilian Kihlman charged in rather forcefully in the 7th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Maximilian Kihlman the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Maximilian Kihlman kicked well hit freekick during the 7th minute of the match. When Roland Veski came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Tapa Athlétic™ 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 Roland Veski couldn't finish the play. Rune Forsberg took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ingmar Ott, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 17th minute Roland Veski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rune Forsberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Örtomta Legends's attentive Kent Sjögren managed to snatch the ball when Allan Kurk made a throw-in in the 21st minute of the game. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind Örtomta Legends's goalkeeper Rune Forsberg, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Kalle Astuja scored 0-1 in the 28th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rune Forsberg, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Örtomta Legends's Kent Sjögren managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Allan Kurk in the 32 minute of the game. 43 minutes into the match, Niklas Lill notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Tapa Athlétic™'s Ahto Hõbe. Ahto Hõbe was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Rune Forsberg showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Roland Veski in the 47th minute of the match. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ingmar Ott made a kick off. In the 52nd minute, Ingmar Ott fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Rune Forsberg, passed just outside the right post. Rune Forsberg made a fantastic save in the 54th minute, when Gerd Kaar sent off a good shot on target. After 57 played minutes Tapa Athlétic™ got a freekick which was hit by Ott Kohv. Kent Sjögren kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. Roland Veski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ingmar Ott received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Rune Forsberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Örtomta Legends's Adrian Olsman got a free kick in the 65th minute. After a rather tough play, Tapa Athlétic™'s Märten Mahlamaa got a free kick in the 67th minute. Rune Forsberg made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ingmar Ott in the 75th minute of play. The supporters of Örtomta Legends booed when Tapa Athlétic™ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Roland Veski didn't get a good kick on the ball. Roland Veskis short, quick shot in the 79thth minute got Rune Forsberg to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. If Ingmar Ott had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 85th minute of the match, Ingmar Ott tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Rune Forsberg saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ingmar Ott in the 89th minute of play forced Örtomta Legends's goalkeeper Rune Forsberg to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A sloppy throw-in by Ott Kohv in the 93rd minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Örtomta Legends's Kent Sjögren. Tapa Athlétic™ were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
