If Viktor Alebeck had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 5th minute Priidu Joa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kristoffer Nordin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Kattvik kings's Kjell Wennerberg got a free kick in the 8th minute. After 14 played minutes Vormsi Vald got a freekick which was hit by Ats Oher. Reino Annama was out of position in the 15 minute of play, and Andreas Hult capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Andreas Hult really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. After 22 minutes, Andreas Hult made it 2-0 with a short kick to the right side. Vormsi Vald's Reino Annama tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Reino Annama made an important save on a dangerous shot by Andreas Hult in the 29th minute. 40 minutes in the game Jonas Telin did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Kjell Wennerberg. Reino Annama made a fantastic save in the 41st minute, when Andreas Hult sent off a good shot on target. In the 43rd minute of the match Kattvik kings got a corner. Vormsi Vald's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Kent Qvalfeldt ran over to the corner to take the kick. After taking down the ball on Kattvik kings's corner Andreas Hult fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Reino Annama quite easily take care of the ball. Kjell Wennerberg recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 45th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ahti Lausmäe was the one to do the kick off. Reino Annama made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Andreas Hult in the 51st minute of play. If Ahti Lausmäe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kjell Wennerberg received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Reino Annama tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Kattvik kings's Roger Söder got a free kick in the 63rd minute. In the 64th minute, Joosep Raudsepp fired a really elegant long shot, but Kristoffer Nordin threw himself and managed to get hold of the ball just in front of the right post. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ahti Lausmäe got free with Kristoffer Nordin in the 68th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Ats Oher hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. When the match clock showed 72 minutes, the score became 4-0 when Andreas Hult sped through Vormsi Vald's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Reino Annama. The supporters of Vormsi Vald booed when Kattvik kings was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Roger Söder didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 80 minutes, Ahti Lausmäe managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Vormsi Vald's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ahti Lausmäe was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Kjell Wennerberg might have been able to make a better finish in the 83rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Reino Annama. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Kjell Wennerberg ran back to his position shaking his head. Antti Külaots kicked well hit freekick during the 84th minute of the match. Kjell Wennerberg's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Reino Annama read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 85th minute of play.
