Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) In the 4th minute, Jussi Takavirta got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 6th match minute, Lahelanrinne was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Iivari Kinnaslampi to maneuver through the defense. If Urho Rosenqvist had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ilmari Puumala's late challenge caught a Lahelanrinne's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ilmari Puumala helped the player get up and apologised. In the 20th match minute, Kalhama FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ilmari Puumala to maneuver through the defense. During the 27th minute of the match Ilmari Puumala completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Ilmari Puumala a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. After 27 played minutes Kalhama FC got a freekick which was hit by Ilmari Puumala. In the 28th minute the ball was on its way in behind Kalhama FC's goalkeeper Albert Äijälä, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sebastiaan Rogaars in the 30th minute of play forced Kalhama FC's goalkeeper Albert Äijälä to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Iivari Kinnaslampi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Albert Äijälä tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sebastiaan Rogaars fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Albert Äijälä having to interfere. Iivari Kinnaslampi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ilmari Seppo during the 39th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Kalhama FC booed when Lahelanrinne was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 39 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ilmari Seppo didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 41st minute the ball was on its way in behind Lahelanrinne's goalkeeper Maunu Seppo, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Sebastiaan Rogaars to make the kick off. Maunu Seppo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jussi Takavirta in the 61st minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Lahelanrinne's Aatu Niskala got a free kick in the 62nd minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jussi Takavirta in the 64th minute of play forced Lahelanrinne's goalkeeper Maunu Seppo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

In the 66th minute, Tuomas Nieminen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Maunu Seppo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jussi Takavirta in the 68th minute of the match. Jussi Takavirta scored 2-0 in the 75th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Maunu Seppo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Sebastiaan Rogaars scored 2-1 in the 80th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Albert Äijälä, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The audience was convinced that Sebastiaan Rogaars's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Albert Äijälä was relentless in the 85th minute of the game. When Tuomas Nieminen fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Lahelanrinne's protests and gave Tuomas Nieminen a yellow card for diving instead. Maunu Seppo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jussi Takavirta in the 91st minute of the match. After having played for 96 minutes, Jussi Takavirta managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kalhama FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jussi Takavirta was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
