previous 10/10 next 2/10  Dinosaurs 0 - 7 Tottenhams (384109819)

The 26519 fans in attendance at Green Mind Stadion were roasting in the hot sun. Ludwik Gurzyński was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Adam Ravn and Jesús Riaño. Dinosaurs decided to use a 5-2-3 set up. Lineup: da Cruz - Ransmayr, Rikstad, Janfeshan, Holmgren, Graf - Canares, Tirranen - Arnoux, Alatia, Klishin.

Tottenhams tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Batković - Wangsholm, Risa, Øvrebø - Capi, Klungland, Andersen, Øverland, Hansen - Leizegui, Walberg.

Dinosaurs were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Tottenhams took the lead after 7 minutes making the score 0 - 1. D. Hansen placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 18 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed T. Walberg to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. T. Walberg increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. The players of Tottenhams now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Given a free kick close to the byline, Tottenhams tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let T. Walberg slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 4, 38 minutes into the game. That made three goals for T. Walberg and he was marked down for the hat trick. After 42 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for A. Andersen who increased Tottenhams's lead to 0 - 5. 0 - 5 was the halftime score. Tottenhams claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 82 percent.

The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs S. Canares found it hard to get back into position. With 73 minutes played, Tottenhams put themselves up 0 - 6 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was A. Andersen. M. Øverland was, after 74 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper D. da Cruz made the save. T. Alatia enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. The home crowd was not impressed when T. Walberg came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 79 minutes. Tottenhams were now up 0 - 7. 80 minutes into the game, Tottenhams worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Tottenhams, with 82 percent of the ball.

Dinosaurs's best player was D. da Cruz. F. Janfeshan was a disappointment, however. T. Walberg performed admirably for Tottenhams. A. Øvrebø on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 7.
