Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Mons Mikaelsen took the kick off in the first half of the match. Erik Ulvik took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 8th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Einar Fagervik. Jøstad's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.
