Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Super Antar's Jyri Ikonen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jaakko Viklund in the 6th minute of play. In the 7th minute Paul Parkkali shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jyri Ikonen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jaakko Viklund sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 15th minute, Einari Alanen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 17 minutes, Paul Parkkali made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Super Antar's Jyri Ikonen tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. When Jaakko Viklund came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the Nauvo IFK 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 Jaakko Viklund couldn't finish the play. 27 minutes into the match, Super Antar's goal looked a bit too open when Jaakko Viklund came free, but Jyri Ikonen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 31st minute, Kalervo Kuoppala hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 36th minute, Mikko Viljamaa 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. A collision led to Nauvo IFK getting a freekick after 37 minutes play. Petri Oravainen hit a great ball. Through an outstanding action, after 38 minutes, Iikka Raukko successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Paul Parkkali took the ball and in the 40 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jyri Ikonen. Jyri Ikonen dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. After 48 played minutes, Nauvo IFK's Petri Oravainen shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Jyri Ikonen 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 Nauvo IFK reached it.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Pertti Heikkinen to make the kick off. If Pertti Heikkinen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pertti Heikkinen recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 67th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 68th minute, Pertti Heikkinen 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. With a little luck, Super Antar's Jyri Ikonen got control of the ball when Jaakko Viklund tried to sneak it across the goal line. 73 minutes into the match, Pertti Heikkinen had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Iikka Raukko. Nauvo IFK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Pertti Heikkinen was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. In the 78th minute, Pertti Heikkinen 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. Jyri Ikonen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Paul Parkkali in the 83rd minute of the match. The crowd rose to their feet as Jaakko Viklund kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Jyri Ikonen. That made the score 1-3 in the 88 minute of play. Iikka Raukko showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Pertti Heikkinen in the 91st minute of the match. Santeri Hakanpää might have been able to make a better finish in the 93rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Iikka Raukko. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Santeri Hakanpää ran back to his position shaking his head. When Mikko Viljamaa came up free with the goalie in the 95th minute, the Super Antar 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 Mikko Viljamaa couldn't finish the play. Mikko Viljamaa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 97th minute. Iikka Raukko tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Chants of Nauvo IFK echoed around the stadium as the match drew to a close. Supporters and players were both delighted with the win, as Super Antar had held the ball for most of the match.
