Rakkestad IF's Christian Halstensen came free and shot a quick shot against goal 10 minutes in the game, fortunately Igor Tworek had problems saving as it came toward the left post. After 15 minutes of play, Pracusiowie's Hector Urtun made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Kenneth Friis was left in no man's land by his defense there! Vetle Frydenberg hit a great freekick 18 minutes into the match. Christian Halstensen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Igor Tworek tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Christian Halstensen who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 23rdth minute tested the skills of Igor Tworek when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Barnaba Chlapowski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Zbyszko Drebit scored 0-4 in the 46th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Kenneth Friis, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When Rakkestad IF's Christian Halstensen in the 56th minute got a chance for a shot 56th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Pracusiowie's goalie prevented a goal. If Aleksander Latocha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 66th minute Zbyszko Drebit shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kenneth Friis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
