Spectators: 160 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Marcos Kunst got the match started through his kick off. Karl Hermer was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 17 minutes into the match. 17 minutes into the game, one of FC Nordsjælland:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. After 46 played minutes Savon Palloseura got a freekick which was hit by Olli-Pekka Bruun. In the 47th minute Frede Holts shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Niilo Myötänen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Otso Ranne to strike the kick off in the second half. Otso Ranne sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 67 minutes into the match, Frede Holts notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Savon Palloseura's Niilo Myötänen. Niilo Myötänen was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Niilo Myötänen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marcos Kunst in the 70th minute of play. In the 71st match minute, Savon Palloseura was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Kaarle Väätäinen to maneuver through the defense. 73 minutes into the game, Risto Mäkinen was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Savon Palloseura's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Nordsjælland the free kick. A collision led to Savon Palloseura getting a freekick after 73 minutes play. Risto Mäkinen hit a great ball. In the 76th minute the ball was on its way in behind FC Nordsjælland's goalkeeper Hans Baunbæk, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 83rd minute, Pablo Bernhoft hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in FC Nordsjælland's zone, Risto Mäkinen stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hans Baunbæk came out of the goal and Risto Mäkinen tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to Savon Palloseura getting a freekick after 86 minutes play. Kaarle Väätäinen hit a great ball. After 87 played minutes, FC Nordsjælland's Vilmar Devolfe shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Niilo Myötänen came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in FC Nordsjælland reached it. In the 91st match minute, FC Nordsjælland was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Anders Boutrup to maneuver through the defense. After 92 minutes of play, Savon Palloseura's Otso Ranne made it 2-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Hans Baunbæk was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Risto Mäkinen was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 98 minutes had been played. A collision led to Savon Palloseura getting a freekick after 99 minutes play. Risto Mäkinen hit a great ball.
