Kanaperä
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Robert Kesä made the kick off which started today's match. Rototeam's Aatos Pisto got a good chance for a goal in the 8th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Rototeam's zone, Ilpo Luotonen stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lembitu Lokko came out of the goal and Ilpo Luotonen tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Miro Tammisto hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. Elias Timoska in the 14thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Anselmi Koski, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. After 15 minutes, Atro Leinonen mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Holiseva and the Rototeam players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Rototeam booed when Holiseva was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Atro Leinonen didn't get a good kick on the ball. Elias Timoska might have been able to make a better finish in the 16th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Anselmi Koski. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Elias Timoska ran back to his position shaking his head. Elias Timoska 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. 21 minutes into the match, Rototeam's Olli-Pekka Tuores sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Anselmi Koski narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Elias Timoska sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Elias Timoska who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 26thth minute tested the skills of Anselmi Koski when he managed to save the team from getting behind. In the 27th minute of the match, Olli-Pekka Tuores tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Anselmi Koski saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. After 28 played minutes Holiseva got a freekick which was hit by Sylvesteri Lähteenmäki. 33 minutes into the match, Holiseva's goal looked a bit too open when Olli-Pekka Tuores came free, but Anselmi Koski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 37th minute Robert Kesä shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lembitu Lokko saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 40th minute, Elias Timoska managed to get in a good position for a shot. Rototeam's supporters rose to their feet, but Elias Timoska was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Anselmi Koski breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Pauli Huhtiniemi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Rototeam made a substitution. Vesa Hautaniemi replaced Olli-Pekka Tuores. The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Elias Timoska to strike the kick off in the second half. When Elias Timoska fell near the penalty area in the 53rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Rototeam's protests and gave Elias Timoska a yellow card for diving instead. In the 54th match minute, Rototeam was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Elias Timoska to maneuver through the defense. Lembitu Lokko made an important save on a dangerous shot by Robert Kesä in the 64th minute. 66 minutes in the game, Ilpo Luotonen fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Lembitu Lokko having to interfere. Rototeam's attentive Robert Nicolae managed to snatch the ball when Hemminki Alanko made a throw-in in the 72nd minute of the game. Anselmi Koski didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Pauli Huhtiniemi went, in the 77th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. In the 89th minute, Holiseva's Ilpo Luotonen ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Lembitu Lokko. Lembitu Lokko yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-2. If Elias Timoska had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 98th minute, Pauli Huhtiniemi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
