Spectators: 5500 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1500, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Sami Kinnunen kicked off to start the match. Atleti's Aleksanteri Jämsen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Pasi Läänelä in the 4th minute of play. Pasi Läänelä's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Aleksanteri Jämsen read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 6th minute of play. 9 minutes into the match, Atleti's goal looked a bit too open when Aleksi Harju came free, but Aleksanteri Jämsen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 11th minute of the match Antero Sjögren shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Aleksanteri Jämsen showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Passoja FC's Tomi Hannus proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 17th minute of the match, managed to save Passoja FC from getting a goal against them. Aleksanteri Jämsen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pasi Läänelä, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. Aleksi Harju fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aleksanteri Jämsen having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Passoja FC's Kerkko Raisanen got a free kick in the 27th minute. After 28 played minutes, Atleti's Jalmari Nieminen shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Tomi Hannus 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 Atleti reached it. After having played for 29 minutes, Pasi Läänelä managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Passoja FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Pasi Läänelä was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 37th minute Aleksi Harju shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aleksanteri Jämsen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Sami Kinnunen scored 1-0 in the 38th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Tomi Hannus, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 43 minutes into the match, Valtteri Haanpää notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Atleti's Aleksanteri Jämsen. Aleksanteri Jämsen was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Ylermi Myllyniemi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tomi Hannus having to interfere. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Pasi Läänelä to strike the kick off in the second half. 56 minutes had been played when some careless play by Passoja FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Jalmari Nieminen was slow to take the kick. During this time Atleti's players had a chance to rest. The corner ended in Jalmari Nieminen almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Passoja FC's Tomi Hannus did a great save. Pasi Läänelä fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aleksanteri Jämsen having to interfere. Aleksanteri Jämsen came out of the goal in the 69th minute to try and stop a shot by Passoja FC's Aleksi Harju. But to his dismay, Aleksi Harju quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. In the 72nd minute, Pasi Läänelä ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Aleksanteri Jämsen was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-3. When the match had gone on for 80 minutes, Pasi Läänelä took a quick shot and it went in 1-4 without a chance for Aleksanteri Jämsen to make any attempt to save it. Tomi Hannus showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Joonatan Hagelberg in the 83rd minute of the match. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 87th minute of the game. One of Atleti:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Passoja FC:s goal. The supporters of Passoja FC booed when Atleti was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 92 match minutes in a wonderful position. Joonatan Hagelberg didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 98 played minutes Atleti got a freekick which was hit by Vesa Kuparinen. Passoja FC played a much better game than Atleti and deserved their victory. The Atleti players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
