Bergseid Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Gjermund Haugstad kicked off to start the match. Hauk Rostad fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Stein Fjeldberg having to interfere. If Kjetil Nesvik had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Aaraksbö's Stein Fjeldberg got control of the ball when Kjetil Nesvik tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 11th minute, Aaraksbö's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Kjetil Nesvik fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Hauk Rostad fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Stein Fjeldberg having to interfere. 14 minutes into the match, Bergseid FF's Kjetil Nesvik sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Stein Fjeldberg narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Bergseid FF's zone, Gjermund Haugstad stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Kristen Sletner came out of the goal and Gjermund Haugstad tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The crowd rose to their feet as Hauk Rostad kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Stein Fjeldberg. That made the score 1-0 in the 22 minute of play. When Kjetil Nesvik came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the Bergseid FF 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 Kjetil Nesvik couldn't finish the play. In the 32nd match minute, Aaraksbö was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Johannes Nornes to maneuver through the defense. 36 minutes had been played when some careless play by Aaraksbö's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Kent Ravn was slow to take the kick. During this time Bergseid FF's players had a chance to rest. A collision led to Aaraksbö getting a freekick after 37 minutes play. Johannes Øvrum hit a great ball. In the 40th play minute Kjetil Nesvik came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Stein Fjeldberg. 2-0. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Hauk Rostad made a kick off. Hauk Rostad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Stein Fjeldberg showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kjetil Nesvik in the 53rd minute of the match. Hauk Rostad received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Stein Fjeldberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Hauk Rostad fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Stein Fjeldberg having to interfere. 70 minutes into the match, Hauk Rostad had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Stein Fjeldberg. Aaraksbö's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hauk Rostad was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-0. In the 80th minute, Theodor Bashir hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 5-0 became the score in the 83rd minute when Hauk Rostad elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. If Theodor Bashir had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 89th match minute, Bergseid FF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Theodor Bashir to maneuver through the defense. Geir Gran fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kristen Sletner having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kjetil Nesvik in the 96th minute of play forced Aaraksbö's goalkeeper Stein Fjeldberg to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Bergseid FF's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
