League Play-Off

Hamnvika
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Linus Hervik started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the game, Bjørnar Lausund was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Oplö's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Hamnvika BK the free kick. The supporters of Hamnvika BK booed when Oplö was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bjørnar Lausund didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Linus Hervik had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Carl Nyheim sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mats Eie sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Mats Eie received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Morten Fjermestad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 17th match minute, Hamnvika BK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ole-Kristian Almli to maneuver through the defense.

William Bratberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 27 minutes into the match, Oplö's Mats Eie sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Morten Fjermestad narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Mats Eie recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Hamnvika BK's Thor Wiken got a good chance for a goal in the 32nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. With a little luck, Oplö's William Bratberg got control of the ball when Thor Wiken tried to sneak it across the goal line.

After a defensive mix-up in Oplö's zone, Thor Wiken stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. William Bratberg came out of the goal and Thor Wiken tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Linus Hervik sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Carl Nyheim made a kick off. Linus Hervik received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. William Bratberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Stian Sæter kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. When Mats Eie came up free with the goalie in the 61st minute, the Oplö fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Mats Eie couldn't finish the play. In the 62nd match minute, Hamnvika BK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Stian Sæter to maneuver through the defense. Morten Fjermestad made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mats Eie in the 65th minute. Morten Fjermestad took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Carl Nyheim, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 67 minutes, Ole-Kristian Almli mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Hamnvika BK and the Oplö players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 68th minute, Ole-Kristian Almli hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 71 minutes into the match, Carl Nyheim dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Morten Fjermestad, 0-1.

After 95 minutes of play Hamnvika BK's Ole-Kristian Almli was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. After a rather tough play, Hamnvika BK's Ole-Kristian Almli got a free kick in the 96th minute. Robert Birkelund was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 97th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.
