League Play-Off

Lunden Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Nils-Christian Jespersen got the match started through his kick off. Nils-Christian Jespersen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 11 played minutes Lunden got a freekick which was hit by Martin Frafjord. In the 11th minute of the match Arne Riise shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Emil Kolle showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. The supporters of Vignes booed when Lunden was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Martin Frafjord didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Bjarne Bergheim came up free with the goalie in the 24th minute, the Vignes 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 Bjarne Bergheim couldn't finish the play. Nils-Christian Jespersen might have been able to make a better finish in the 32nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Emil Kolle. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Nils-Christian Jespersen ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 33rd minute Bjarne Bergheim shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Emil Kolle saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 35 minutes, Thomas Borg mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Vignes and the Lunden players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Vignes getting a freekick after 35 minutes play. Thomas Borg hit a great ball. Lunden's Glenn Kallestad couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 36th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Vignes. Emil Kolle took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bjarne Bergheim, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Finn-Christian Aae fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aksel Valderhaug having to interfere. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kristian Olaisen to make the kick off. Emil Kolle was out of position in the 51 minute of play, and Nils-Christian Jespersen capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Nils-Christian Jespersen really showed his touch with that goal: 0-1. A collision led to Lunden getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. David Skjevik hit a great ball. Vignes's Arne Riise couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 56th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Lunden. Per-Filip Hatlem charged in rather forcefully in the 59th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Per-Filip Hatlem the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bjarne Bergheim got free with Emil Kolle in the 66th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Lunden's Kristian Olaisen got a good chance for a goal in the 72nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Bjarne Bergheim could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 75th minute of the match, but Emil Kolle made a huge save. The supporters of Lunden booed when Vignes was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 82 match minutes in a wonderful position. Thomas Borg didn't get a good kick on the ball. Bjarne Bergheim struck a weak shot in the 87th minute. Emil Kolle didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Vignes. Finn-Christian Aae received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Aksel Valderhaug tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kristian Olaisen in the 95th minute of play forced Vignes's goalkeeper Aksel Valderhaug to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Vignes's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
