Spectators: 8442 (Terracing: 6333, Seating: 1941, VIP seats: 168) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Åsmund Owren made the kick off which started today's match. After some careless play in the Storhamar Fotball defense, Åsmund Owren kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Erik Eiken. The Storhamar Fotball fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Erik Eiken should have stopped the shot. After a defensive mix-up in Storhamar Fotball's zone, Åsmund Owren stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Erik Eiken came out of the goal and Åsmund Owren tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Åsmund Owren sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After a rather tough play, FK Oftenåsen's Åsmund Owren got a free kick in the 17th minute. 20 minutes into the match, Stefan Jensrud notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of FK Oftenåsen's Anan As.

The player immediately received a yellow card. Henrik Laugen hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. After having played for 30 minutes, Henrik Laugen managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FK Oftenåsen's supporters crossed their fingers, but Henrik Laugen was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 33 minutes into the match, Åsmund Owren notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Storhamar Fotball's Erik Eiken. Erik Eiken was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 43rd minute, Ivar Sandstad hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Åsmund Owren struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Erik Eiken didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FK Oftenåsen.

After 58 played minutes Storhamar Fotball got a freekick which was hit by Øyvind Espe.
