Skrenten Gress
Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Lasse Grødem made the kick off which started today's match. With a little luck, Forsmoen FF's Runar Gjermundsen got control of the ball when Endre Baardsen tried to sneak it across the goal line. Rikard Eide hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. In the 11th minute, Henrik Norli sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and SK Skrenten's Markus Stensrud didn't even have to move. In the 16th minute of the match Asbjørn Vikøren shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Runar Gjermundsen showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. When Endre Baardsen came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the SK Skrenten 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 Endre Baardsen couldn't finish the play. Runar Gjermundsen took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Torgeir Paulsrud, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Martin Skauge kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. Markus Stensrud showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lasse Grødem, who was totally free with the ball in the 25th minute. The referee felt a red card was in order, 29 minutes into the game, when Arnt Engebakken put in a rough tackle. In a very dangerous position, a player in Forsmoen FF fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 28th minute. Penalty! The audience was convinced that Torgeir Paulsrud's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Runar Gjermundsen was relentless in the 37th minute of the game. Torgeir Paulsrud might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Runar Gjermundsen. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Torgeir Paulsrud ran back to his position shaking his head. If Anders Hilstad had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Torgeir Paulsrud to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Endre Baardsen in the 55th minute of play forced Forsmoen FF's goalkeeper Runar Gjermundsen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Runar Gjermundsen didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Torgeir Paulsrud went, in the 56th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. The supporters of Forsmoen FF booed when SK Skrenten was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ragnar Thu didn't get a good kick on the ball. Forsmoen FF's Runar Gjermundsen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Endre Baardsen in the 61st minute of play. 63 minutes into the match, Endre Baardsen notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Forsmoen FF's Runar Gjermundsen. Runar Gjermundsen was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Runar Gjermundsen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Torgeir Paulsrud in the 66th minute of play. Torgeir Paulsrud sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Torgeir Paulsrud took the ball and in the 71 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Runar Gjermundsen. Runar Gjermundsen dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-0. Roald Bjørklund's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Markus Stensrud read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 76th minute of play. In the 84th minute the ball was on its way in behind Forsmoen FF's goalkeeper Runar Gjermundsen, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
