ulsteinvik were relying on their ability to counter-attack. S. Østvik spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. F. Elvemo caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 18 minutes. This gave Kollaps the 1 - 0 lead. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. I. Kulakov squirmed through their central defence after 20 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Kollaps were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 29 minutes played, Kollaps's R. Joly almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit V. Høiby just fine. K. Terassa was first to reach a ball launched long through the center from ulsteinvik's defence 34 minutes into the game. He managed to keep his cool and beat the goalkeeper to make the score 2 - 1. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like J. Árendás. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Kollaps, with 67 percent of the ball.

The bench was restless, and with 52 minutes passed ulsteinvik's coach gave M. Bakić the opportunity the player had been hoping for. J. Sabogal reluctantly left the field. Kollaps solidified their lead at the 56 minute mark, as F. Elvemo dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 1. Kollaps were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 65 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by S. Østvik. 4 - 1 for the home side. 73 minutes in, ulsteinvik's K. Terassa received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A. Thoresen was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Kollaps's T. Kvarving had to come off the bench. 79 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as F. Elvemo broke through, making the score 5 - 1 for Kollaps. That made three goals for F. Elvemo and he was marked down for the hat trick. Kollaps enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

Most important Kollaps player was R. Joly. I. Kulakov on the other hand, had a terrible day. ulsteinvik's top performer was clearly K. Heggedal. Y. Michaeli turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 5 - 1.
