Neither team looked impressive early in the game as penalties, turnovers and miscues plagued both squads. Finally Tuomas Leinonen of Finland picked off a Mattison pass and Finland took the ball over at France’s 33 yard line, only to badly miss a field goal three plays later. France finally found a rhythm and drove from their own 33 to score with just under three minutes to go in the quarter. Stephan Yempo led the way after quarterback Perez Mattison hit Louvin for a 40 yard gain.
Two series later, Finland tied the game as Veikka Lehtonen put his team on his shoulders, running for a total of 24 yards on the drive and throwing a 56 yard TD pass to help Finland even the score at 7-7.
