Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Frode Myrhaug kicked off to start the match.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 25 played minutes, Röda Raketerna's Torjus Fretheim shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Paul Hole came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Röda Raketerna reached it. After a rather tough play, Hagavollen's Ingar Kallevik got a free kick in the 25th minute. When Jonathan Fagermo came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Röda Raketerna 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 Jonathan Fagermo couldn't finish the play. Lasse Taksdal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Christoffer Kalland struck a weak shot in the 31st minute. Hans-Erik Strømnes didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hagavollen. If Frode Myrhaug had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Hans-Erik Strømnes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lasse Taksdal to make the kick off. A collision led to Röda Raketerna getting a freekick after 52 minutes play. Krister Omdal hit a great ball. In the 55thth minute of the game Lasse Taksdal who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Hagavollen's Paul Hole was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.
