Spectators: 7526 (Terracing: 5645, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nicholas Sveen started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Egil Sandmo managed to get in a good position for a shot. AC Mizeria's supporters rose to their feet, but Egil Sandmo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bahiano Montemiuño breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Bahiano Montemiuño showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nicholas Sveen in the 5th minute of the match. Reidar Grøtan blasted a shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Bahiano Montemiuño having to make a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nicholas Sveen in the 18th minute of play forced Atunes De Margarita FC⚽️'s goalkeeper Bahiano Montemiuño to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Vidal Navarrete got free with Nils-Johan Due in the 21st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Kenneth Lundgren's late challenge caught a Atunes De Margarita FC⚽️'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Egil Sandmo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 70th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
