League Play-Off

Bjørnsvik
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. Lukas Hågensen started the match with the kick off. Einar Haugan scored 1-0 in the 4th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jarle Hadland, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 11 minutes into the match, Listende Due's goal looked a bit too open when Cent Gangstad came free, but Bjørnar Heggdal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Listende Due's Jan-Aage Juliussen got a free kick in the 11th minute. In the 23rd play minute Stefan Muren came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Jarle Hadland. 2-0. If Lukas Hågensen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cent Gangstad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cent Gangstad received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 38th minute. Bjørnar Heggdal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Lukas Hågensen in the 39th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Bjørnar Heggdal prevented the ball from getting in the gole. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Einar Haugan to make the kick off. A collision led to Listende Due getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Christian Nærland hit a great ball. Larkollen's Jarle Hadland played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Einar Haugan in the 62nd minute of play. Lukas Hågensen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 71st minute the ball was on its way in behind Listende Due's goalkeeper Bjørnar Heggdal, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lukas Hågensen in the 73rd minute of play forced Listende Due's goalkeeper Bjørnar Heggdal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Jarle Hadland took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Einar Haugan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Larkollen's Jarle Hadland played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Stefan Muren in the 89th minute of play. When Listende Due's Stefan Muren in the 97th minute got a chance for a shot 97th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Larkollen's goalie prevented a goal. For all the effort they put into the match, the Larkollen players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Listende Due.
