Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Kaarle Väätäinen took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 2nd minute, Tuomo Saarinen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Niilo Myötänen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gerhardt Torgersen in the 3rd minute of play. After 6 played minutes STØD-G™ got a freekick which was hit by Bertil Brønno. In the 7th minute, Savon Palloseura's Risto Mäkinen ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Teis Harkild. Teis Harkild yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. Niilo Myötänen came out of the goal in the 12th minute to try and stop a shot by STØD-G™'s Gerhardt Torgersen. But to his dismay, Gerhardt Torgersen quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. With a little luck, STØD-G™'s Teis Harkild got control of the ball when Heino Myllykoski tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 19th minute Rolf Dyrbye 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. Kaarle Väätäinen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Niilo Myötänen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gerhardt Torgersen, who was totally free with the ball in the 44th minute. If Jonatan Sandrup had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Niilo Myötänen came out and tried to block the shot, but Rolf Dyrbye slotted it home off the left post making it 2-2 in the 55th minute.

Otso Ranne fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Teis Harkild having to interfere.
