Løvene 6 - 0 Trickyticklers (368343251)

Dark skies made the crowd of 24842 at Varden a little nervous, but the rain held off. Otto Pfeffersberg was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Magnus Larsson and Miguel Barbacana. Løvene had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Holmen - Krogh, Kirknes, Due - Gautier, Aguirre, Vicković, Angermair - Ongüş, Mikkelsen, Bjørdal.

Trickyticklers started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Starters: Didier - Peelman, Ivanchev, Balodis, Contreras - Schmidt, Arntzen, Huff, Löwenbräu - Ocio, Metz.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Trickyticklers. Løvene had a chance to take the lead after C. Bjørdal's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 18 minutes. S. Due caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 23 minutes. This gave Løvene the 1 - 0 lead. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, M. Ocio got himself booked. The manager of Trickyticklers was not happy. Cheers filled the stadium as M. Angermair broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Løvene. M. Angermair increased the lead for Løvene to 3 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Løvene, with 59 percent of the ball.

F. Gautier dispatched a majestic long shot 74 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. Trickyticklers's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 75 minutes gone, but T. Löwenbräu's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. After 79 minutes, a deliberate handball from Trickyticklers's M. Ocio was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off. 81 minutes into the match, the speedy M. Angermair easily outpaced I. Peelman, chipped the keeper and made the score 4 - 0. By then M. Angermair had scored three goals - a hat trick! After 82 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and U. Ongüş gave the Løvene supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 5 - 0. By now, the players in Løvene felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Løvene's S. Mikkelsen increased the lead to 6 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 84 minutes. Løvene claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 64 percent.

The most dominating Løvene player was without a doubt S. Due. R. Holmen turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Trickyticklers player was O. Huff. V. Ivanchev on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 6 - 0.
