Lovikka Stadion
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Joseph Burman kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, Lovikka's Sigvard Rosendal got a free kick in the 6th minute. 9 minutes into the match, Joseph Burman notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Saxdalen's Tommy Persson. Tommy Persson was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Joseph Burman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tommy Persson having to interfere. Saxdalen's Tommy Persson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sigvard Rosendal in the 15th minute of play. Kurt Strömberg received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Fabian Gråberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 22nd minute Alfons Kjellbom shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tommy Persson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Joseph Burman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alfons Kjellbom received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Tommy Persson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Joseph Burman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Joseph Burman received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Tommy Persson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Lovikka's Sigvard Rosendal got a good chance for a goal in the 44th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Tommy Persson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alfons Kjellbom in the 47th minute of the match. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Christian Lindholm was the one to do the kick off. Christian Lindholm kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match. Fabian Gråberg showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Christian Lindholm in the 59th minute of the match. If Alfons Kjellbom had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 77th minute, Patrik Broberg 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. Ulf Höijer struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Fabian Gråberg didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Saxdalen. Ulf Höijer scored 3-1 in the 82nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Fabian Gråberg, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 88th minute, Saxdalen's Christian Lindholm ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Fabian Gråberg. Fabian Gråberg yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 3-2. If Joseph Burman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Lovikka fans cheered their team off the field, for while Saxdalen had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
