Spectators: 7530 (Terracing: 5649, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Fredric Klint took the kick off in the first half of the match. Olov Johnsson hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. When Leopold Kannisto came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Karupargi Kommionud 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 Leopold Kannisto couldn't finish the play. A collision led to Karupargi Kommionud getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Alo Lehto hit a great ball. In the 7th minute, Fredric Klint fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Edvard Johnsson made in the 10th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Henric Wållander however managed to control. Fredric Klint could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 17th minute of the match, but Kuuno Tali made a huge save. Kuuno Tali took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fredric Klint, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Kuuno Tali made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Edvard Johnsson in the 26th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Karupargi Kommionud's Leopold Kannisto got a free kick in the 38th minute. Leopold Kannisto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Leopold Kannisto made a kick off. After 54 minutes of play, BENA FK's Edvard Johnsson made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Kuuno Tali was left in no man's land by his defense there! Gaspar Leheren showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Leopold Kannisto in the 57th minute of the match. Antti Keskrand hit a great freekick 62 minutes into the match. Kuuno Tali showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tommy Palm, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. In the 66th minute Leopold Kannisto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gaspar Leheren saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Karupargi Kommionud's Edvard Kärson was substituted for Alo Lehto. Leopold Kannisto's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Gaspar Leheren read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 72nd minute of play. Leopold Kannisto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gaspar Leheren having to interfere. Gaspar Leheren was out of position in the 80 minute of play, and Leopold Kannisto capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Leopold Kannisto really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. After a rather tough play, Karupargi Kommionud's Jüri Näksi got a free kick in the 82nd minute. In the 83rd match minute, BENA FK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bengt Felin to maneuver through the defense. The crowd rose to their feet as Karupargi Kommionud's Oliver Klaasen slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Gaspar Leheren. That made the score 1-2 after 93 minutes of play. Although BENA FK had been in control for most of the match, Karupargi Kommionud still came away with the win.
