League Play-Off

Tussvik
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, 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. Are Eldevik started the match with the kick off. Jarle Myrseth acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 10th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Hans-Martin Storebø. The audience thought a goal was coming when Steffen Pilskog got free with Jarle Myrseth in the 12th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Geir Rolfsen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 13th minute. Jarle Myrseth tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Steffen Pilskogs short, quick shot in the 15thth minute got Jarle Myrseth to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Fridtjof Kirkhus showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sander Klaussen in the 23rd minute of the match. 25 minutes into the match, Aal Blackhawks's goal looked a bit too open when Are Eldevik came free, but Fridtjof Kirkhus reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sander Klaussen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sander Klaussen in the 31st minute of play forced Aal Blackhawks's goalkeeper Fridtjof Kirkhus to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 34 minutes, Steffen Pilskog managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Aal Blackhawks's supporters crossed their fingers, but Steffen Pilskog was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jarle Myrseth made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Joel Hök in the 35th minute of play. After 37 played minutes, Aal Blackhawks's Hans-Martin Storebø shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Jarle Myrseth came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Aal Blackhawks reached it. Aal Blackhawks were furious when Geir Rolfsen was red carded, 42 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In a very dangerous position, a player in Aal Blackhawks fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 42nd minute. Penalty! In the 45th minute there was a penalty for Högvalla Farm Boyz FC. Tor-Magnus Leivestad stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Fridtjof Kirkhus. 1-1. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Christer Bashir made a kick off. Christer Bashir sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Christer Bashir struck a weak shot in the 59th minute. Jarle Myrseth didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Aal Blackhawks. Joel Hök sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 64 minutes of play, Högvalla Farm Boyz FC's Are Eldevik made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Fridtjof Kirkhus was left in no man's land by his defense there! With an all-out effort, Högvalla Farm Boyz FC's Fridtjof Kirkhus threw himself towards the right post 69 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Are Eldevik, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Steffen Pilskog received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Jarle Myrseth tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jarle Myrseth took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Joel Hök, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Steffen Pilskog blasted a shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jarle Myrseth having to make a save. A collision led to Högvalla Farm Boyz FC getting a freekick after 80 minutes play. Daniel Stavenes hit a great ball. Sander Klaussen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Fridtjof Kirkhus tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 86 minutes into the match, Steffen Pilskog had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jarle Myrseth. Högvalla Farm Boyz FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Steffen Pilskog was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. Fridtjof Kirkhus took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Are Eldevik, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Aal Blackhawks's Fridtjof Kirkhus proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 91st minute of the match, managed to save Aal Blackhawks from getting a goal against them. Aal Blackhawks were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
