Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) Iwo Jakisz made the kick off and thus started the match. Mikolaj Resel didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Bert Kapten went, in the 5th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Tapa Athlétic™'s Bert Kapten got a good chance for a goal in the 9th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 11 minutes into the match, Ahti Tõruke had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mikolaj Resel. RW AHLEN-KNURÓW's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ahti Tõruke was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Ott Kohv's late challenge caught a RW AHLEN-KNURÓW's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ott Kohv helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of RW AHLEN-KNURÓW booed when Tapa Athlétic™ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position.

Ahto Hõbe didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for RW AHLEN-KNURÓW. In the 33rd minute Bert Kapten shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mikolaj Resel saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Lucjan Dropinski's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ahto Hõbe was relentless in the 35th minute of the game. Ahto Hõbe made a fantastic save in the 38th minute, when Iwo Jakisz sent off a good shot on target. When the match had gone on for 43 minutes, Antoni Podwojski took a quick shot and it went in 1-2 without a chance for Ahto Hõbe to make any attempt to save it.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ahti Tõruke to strike the kick off in the second half. Lucjan Dropinski recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Iwo Jakisz in the 58th minute of play forced Tapa Athlétic™'s goalkeeper Ahto Hõbe to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Iwo Jakisz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Tapa Athlétic™'s Andres Nurm got a free kick in the 68th minute. 74 minutes into the match, Tapa Athlétic™'s goal looked a bit too open when Iwo Jakisz came free, but Ahto Hõbe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 76th minute Bert Kapten shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mikolaj Resel saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mikolaj Resel made a fantastic save in the 79th minute, when Ahti Tõruke sent off a good shot on target.

Lucjan Dropinski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 88th minute, Iwo Jakisz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ahto Hõbe was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
