Leonard Tyski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Päiviö Hana having to interfere.

After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Patrik Paaso managed to get in a good position for a shot. FC Menetelmä's supporters rose to their feet, but Patrik Paaso was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Päiviö Hana breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Touko Pikkarainen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 25 played minutes FC Menetelmä got a freekick which was hit by Kerkko Toivanen. A collision led to TimperilAaa getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Matias Reimari hit a great ball.

The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The FC Menetelmä fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. Alvi Santahuhta sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 61 minutes of play, FC Menetelmä's Leonard Tyski made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Päiviö Hana took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Leonard Tyski, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. FC Menetelmä fully deserved thier win.
