Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Albert Bratlie started the match with the kick off. If Albert Bratlie had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Marius Osmundsen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Markus Rinde tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
