T74 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

The home side's S. Chhith came close to extending the lead 57 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but A. Harawi managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. A great save by keeper A. Harawi after 64 minutes kept the visitors in the game after C. Hammarbom struck from the left with a real cannonball. Klaani's counterattack was impressive and was only stopped by a shocking foul. Somehow, the referee's cards remained in his pocket - a terrible decision! V. Pöykö's resulting free kick was easily saved by the keeper. Coming from the right, M. Pardo almost managed to score another goal for T74, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. 70 minutes in, Klaani's J.
