12000 punters turned up at äly ja väläys Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Tue Steensen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by John Koenig and Théo Prochiantz. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Morx. Starters: Aikanen - Nikkanen, Korvola, Palamaa, Koivuharju - Juhava, Railo, Rea, Turunen - Ylitalo, Koivulahti.

Blackliver's L. Lika gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 11 minutes with a superb strike from the right. The referee showed Blackliver's F. Hellmonds the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A lack of experience caused V. Railo to make a difficult dribble close to dangerous opponent N. Tänzler of Blackliver, who took the opportunity to score making it 0 - 2. A. Torrejón increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. After this, you could see that the players of Blackliver were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 28 minutes, Blackliver did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, A. Torrejón was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 4. The home crowd was not impressed when N. Tänzler came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 30 minutes. Blackliver were now up 0 - 5. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 5. Blackliver enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

The visitors' R. Clausen took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 67 minutes into the match. 0 - 6 for Blackliver. F. Hellmonds of Blackliver took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 72 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 7. With 75 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed F. Hellmonds of Blackliver to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 8. Blackliver claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

J. Nikkanen performed admirably for Morx. M. Aikanen was a disappointment, however. Most important Blackliver player was E. Boucai. On the other hand, A. Kaunismäki's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 8.
