Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Rafael Puranen kicked off to start the match. Niklas Uusikartano fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ossian Markkanen having to interfere. In the 11th minute Roni Hirvonen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ossian Markkanen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ossian Markkanen stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Niklas Uusikartano's shot from short distance in the 13th minute. When Roni Hirvonen came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Viemerö 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 Roni Hirvonen couldn't finish the play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Niklas Uusikartano in the 15th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ossian Markkanen saved Pędzle from getting behind. Ossian Markkanen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Roni Hirvonen in the 19th minute of the match. Roni Hirvonen recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Atro Nikander fell near the penalty area in the 22nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Viemerö's protests and gave Atro Nikander a yellow card for diving instead. In the 38th minute Karri Helenius shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Terho Heliskoski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Terho Heliskoski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rafael Puranen in the 39th minute of play. If Niklas Uusikartano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 48 played minutes Pędzle got a freekick which was hit by Ilpo Kokkila.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Niklas Uusikartano made a kick off. After 53rd play minutes Rafael Puranen shot 1-0, a short shot which went by Terho Heliskoski and just under the crossbar into goal. The supporters of Pędzle booed when Viemerö was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hemminki Takala didn't get a good kick on the ball. Pietari Laamanen was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 59th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The audience was convinced that Karri Helenius's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Terho Heliskoski was relentless in the 66th minute of the game. 67 minutes into the match, Pędzle's goal looked a bit too open when Niklas Uusikartano came free, but Ossian Markkanen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 80thth minute of the game Niklas Uusikartano who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Pędzle's Ossian Markkanen was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Rafael Puranen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pietari Laamanen hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Roni Hirvonen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ossian Markkanen having to interfere. Niklas Uusikartano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Pędzle were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Viemerö for a fine match.
