Spectators: 8428 (Terracing: 6322, Seating: 1938, VIP seats: 168) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. 方银剑 started the match with the kick off. If Jani Hernesniemi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 2nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 7th minute the ball was on its way in behind FC Jazz's goalkeeper Oiva Paappanen, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Jani Hernesniemi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 18 played minutes Mikkelin Palloilijat got a freekick which was hit by Simon Mosselveld. After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Hélio Nóbrega managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mikkelin Palloilijat's supporters rose to their feet, but Hélio Nóbrega was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Oiva Paappanen breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Jani Hernesniemi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Oiva Paappanen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 方银剑, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. In the 31st minute Valio Kiviranta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Viljo Ikola saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 37th minute, Jani Hernesniemi 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. An unexpectedly hard shot by Valio Kiviranta in the 38th minute of play forced Mikkelin Palloilijat's goalkeeper Viljo Ikola to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If 方银剑 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Valio Kiviranta might have been able to make a better finish in the 57th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Viljo Ikola. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Valio Kiviranta ran back to his position shaking his head. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Jarkko Lääkkö during the 59th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Jarkko Lääkkö hit a great freekick 59 minutes into the match. Valio Kiviranta struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. Viljo Ikola didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Jazz. Jani Hernesniemi's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Viljo Ikola read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 66th minute of play. When Jani Hernesniemi came up free with the goalie in the 68th minute, the FC Jazz 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 Jani Hernesniemi couldn't finish the play. Pedrinho Cruz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Oiva Paappanen having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, Pedrinho Cruz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mikkelin Palloilijat's supporters rose to their feet, but Pedrinho Cruz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Oiva Paappanen breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Viljo Ikola didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jani Hernesniemi went, in the 87th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score. Viljo Ikola showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jani Hernesniemi, who was totally free with the ball in the 97th minute. For all the effort they put into the match, the Mikkelin Palloilijat players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for FC Jazz.
