Spectators: 6774 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Keijo Blom kicked off to start the match. After 7 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Myras FC! After 13 minutes, Keijo Vihtilä mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Myras FC and the Haukkavaaral IFK players grew even worse after the yellow card. When the match clock showed 20 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Eero Nielikäinen sped through Myras FC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Eerik Järvenperä. In the 32nd minute, Eero Nielikäinen left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Haukkavaaral IFK fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eero Nielikäinen in the 43rd minute of play forced Myras FC's goalkeeper Eerik Järvenperä to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Eerik Järvenperä stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Eero Nielikäinen's shot from short distance in the 44th minute. The audience was convinced that Eero Nielikäinen's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Eerik Järvenperä was relentless in the 47th minute of the game.

The wind increased when Eero Nielikäinen made the kick off in the second half. If Veijo Harinen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Eero Nielikäinen made a well adjusted shot against goal in the 58thth minute coming free in front of the goal, but Eerik Järvenperä would not let the ball come through at any expense and made a nice save by the left post. After 64 minutes, Teemu Oksa mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Myras FC and the Haukkavaaral IFK players grew even worse after the yellow card. A hard shot by Taavi Vainionpää from long distance, 65 minutes into the match, got Eerik Järvenperä's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Ismo Karalahti was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 67 minutes into the match. Jaakkima Hassinen had in the 69thth minute some difficulties stopping Manne Mustonen's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. In the 69th minute, Manne Mustonen ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Jaakkima Hassinen was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-4. Eerik Järvenperä made a fantastic save in the 80th minute, when Viljami Esala sent off a good shot on target. Teemu Oksa kicked well hit freekick during the 82nd minute of the match. In the 86th minute, Myras FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Jorma Koivula fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. 94 minutes into the match, Keijo Vihtilä notched a goal, 2-4, to the right of Haukkavaaral IFK's Jaakkima Hassinen. Jaakkima Hassinen was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a rather tough play, Myras FC's Anton Petsamo got a free kick in the 98th minute.
