League Play-Off

LECH STENA
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Alexander Hellem kicked off to start the match. In the 3rd minute Alexander Hellem shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but William Reigstad saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. KP BOR's William Reigstad played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jesper Gulbrandsen in the 9th minute of play. After having played for 13 minutes, Jim-André Vassbotn managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. KP BOR's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jim-André Vassbotn was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Kjartan Jensrud sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kjartan Jensrud in the 21st minute of play forced Team øresleik's goalkeeper Fredrik Nordgård to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, KP BOR's Tarjei Bodin got a free kick in the 22nd minute. KP BOR's Oddbjørn Farestveit got a good chance for a goal in the 28th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. A hard shot by Bjørnar Obrestad from long distance, 32 minutes into the match, got Fredrik Nordgård's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. If Dag Christoffersen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Oddbjørn Farestveit's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Fredrik Nordgård read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 36th minute of play. If Alexander Hellem had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jesper Gulbrandsen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The wind increased when Kjartan Jensrud made the kick off in the second half. Fredrik Nordgård showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Dag Christoffersen in the 52nd minute of the match. After 57 minutes of play, Team øresleik's Jesper Gulbrandsen made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. William Reigstad was left in no man's land by his defense there! Team øresleik's Fredrik Nordgård played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kjartan Jensrud in the 61st minute of play. A collision led to KP BOR getting a freekick after 65 minutes play. Jim-André Vassbotn hit a great ball. Fredrik Nordgård didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Kjartan Jensrud went, in the 74th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. Fredrik Nordgård made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kjartan Jensrud in the 79th minute of play. When Oddbjørn Farestveit came up free with the goalie in the 81st minute, the KP BOR 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 Oddbjørn Farestveit couldn't finish the play. 84 minutes into the match, KP BOR's Kjartan Jensrud sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Fredrik Nordgård narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Fredrik Nordgård took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jim-André Vassbotn, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Team øresleik's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
