Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The referee felt a red card was in order, 5 minutes into the game, when Toufik Morard put in a rough tackle. The audience thought a goal was coming when Jani Järventaus got free with Aapo Kurri in the 10th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Jani Järventaus sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Rubens Paranaense received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Iisakki Palonen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A collision led to Åbo United getting a freekick after 37 minutes play. Saku Jatkola hit a great ball. Iisakki Palonen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ilkka Siltavirta in the 41st minute of the match. After 41 minutes of play, Åbo United's Ilkka Siltavirta made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Iisakki Palonen was left in no man's land by his defense there! Rubens Paranaense received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Iisakki Palonen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

Iisakki Palonen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Saku Jatkola, who was totally free with the ball in the 54th minute. Oiva Kärnä sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Singsby HF's Oiva Kärnä got a good chance for a goal in the 63rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Aapo Kurri took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Oiva Kärnä, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jani Järventaus in the 70th minute of play forced Åbo United's goalkeeper Aapo Kurri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Oiva Kärnä struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. Aapo Kurri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Singsby HF. Singsby HF's Iisakki Palonen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rubens Paranaense in the 84th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Rubens Paranaense managed to get in a good position for a shot. Åbo United's supporters rose to their feet, but Rubens Paranaense was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Iisakki Palonen breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Ilkka Siltavirta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Kalle Martikainen fell near the penalty area in the 89th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Singsby HF's protests and gave Kalle Martikainen a yellow card for diving instead. Kalle Martikainen hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. In the 91st minute Rubens Paranaense shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Iisakki Palonen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 92 minutes into the match, Oiva Kärnä had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Aapo Kurri. Åbo United's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Oiva Kärnä was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
