Zetori had a good opportunity to take the lead as W. Oppenheim came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of E. Buffa. J. Niemikoski caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 33 minutes. This gave Zetori the 1 - 0 lead. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Zetori, with 54 percent of the ball.

After 59 minutes, the visitors levelled the scores after A. Marjanen made it through the middle and struck home to make it 1 - 1. After 60 minutes, the Jääskänjoen coach had a quick word about the tactical set-up and decided to try another approach. Down the middle came V. Brummer, making a fantastic play that nearly had Jääskänjoen take the lead after 66 minutes, but E. Morete preserved the tie. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when V. Brummer was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 75 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! H. Gijgink's speed was clear to see after 76 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released O. Luomanen who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 2 - 1. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. H. Gijgink squirmed through their central defence after 77 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 1. Jääskänjoen's A. Marjanen was able to reply, after 83 minutes, making the score 3 - 2 with a well struck penalty. Zetori put in a good effort on the right, but O. Luomanen saw his volley fly wide of the mark 84 minutes into the game. Possession in this half belonged to Zetori, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

Most important Zetori player was E. Morete. J. Maeran was a disappointment, however. A. Marjanen performed admirably for Jääskänjoen. However, A. Riionheimo made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 2.
