Jørpedal beat Strond on away goals in their two-legged quarterfinal, after 1-1 and 2-2 draws home and away respectively. The semifinal draw pit them against Aletv Samfet, who had beaten Lundholm B for the second time in their quarterfinal. The first leg of the matchup in Lundholm was a controversial affair fought in heavy rainfall, on a pitch that quickly became a mud bath. The game marked the first time amateur teams in different cities had played each other in formal competition, and the largest distance travelled to a game (Neuvesto to Lundholm) With the conditions so adverse, play degraded into chaos and several scraps broke out between players. In the end, the scoreline ended 2-0 to Aletv after two controversial penalties, while Jørpedal claimed they would had scored three goals of their own had the Aletv keeper not purposely muddied the goal-line to obstruct shots.

This controversy carried forward to the second leg in Neuvesto, which, despite being in better conditions, was similarly feisty. While the first leg had been played with very few travelling fans due to the distance, over 1,000 Aletv Samfet fans travelled to the reverse fixture. They joined a record host crowd of 3,400 in Olejern park, and overflowing into surrounding streets with the park unable to cope with such numbers. Tensions amongst both fans and players were high, with Jørpedal fans particularly angry about the perceived injustice of their first leg defeat.

Tensions amongst both fans and players were high, with Jørpedal fans particularly angry about the perceived injustice of their first leg defeat. Small level scuffles between the two sets of fans occurred throughout the game, with increasing intensity as Jørpedal scored 3 times to take an aggregate lead. Play was suspended in the 75th minute following Jørpedal's 3rd goal while local police separated several groups of opposing fans. However, while the police had been expecting a large crowd and some small-scale violence, they were unprepared and unequipped to cope with the fight that broke out at the final whistle. The brawl resulted in the deaths of 1 fan and left a further 406 fans injured, in addition to 39 policemen and 43 passers-by.
