runkotie started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Majander - Hecker, Katzlinger, Niţescu - Galati, Tănase, Haimberger, Malcuit, Savenius - Horlebein, Grozdanov.

runkotie took the lead after 18 minutes making the score 0 - 1. A. Malcuit placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. S. Horlebein received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 37 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 2. The runkotie fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, D. Katzlinger got himself booked. The manager of runkotie was not happy. With 42 minutes played, runkotie put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was R. Tănase. With 44 minutes played, A. Nevalampi of Hurdur fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. A. Nevalampi almost reduced the deficit, having drawn the entire left side defence away, but the shot went straight into the arms of the goalkeeper. There was concern in the stands when, at the 44 minute mark, Hurdur's W. Beiboer hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. runkotie enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

T. Majander wanted to play on, but the runkotie coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by I. Kurttila. A. Malcuit left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. J. Burgess was the replacement. The coach of runkotie was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, A. Ramírez came on for B. Haimberger. Some fine movement on the left led to a runkotie goal after 47 minutes, making it 0 - 4. C. Niţescu was noted down as the scorer. At this point, it was obvious that the players of runkotie lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. runkotie came close to extending their lead as R. Tănase delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 55 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. runkotie's C. Niţescu made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 57 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from S. Grozdanov after 58 minutes, and prevented runkotie from going up another goal. Possession in this half belonged to runkotie, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Hurdur's top performer was clearly P. Hanhiniemi. J. Simola turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating runkotie player was without a doubt S. Horlebein. On the other hand, I. Kurttila's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
