FKF 1 - 1 Livertull (384110406)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 55583 had shown up at Fredriksten Arena for the match. Piergiorgio Stilli was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jean-Christophe Regnault and Sigidi Makua. FKF had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Børresen - Flørli, Linnerud, Marvik - Kristiansen, Endestad, Fagernes, Fjelde, Mathisen - Pettersen, Sørbøe.

Livertull tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Canevari - Dutilleul, Fanton, Dascălu - Lähteenmäki, Finstad, Aanes, Nyhus, Bòrzëszkòwsczi - Seeger, Čuvaj.

It was an obvious ambition of Livertull to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. A penalty was given after 9 minutes, allowing the visitors to gain the lead: 0 - 1. B. Fanton was the scorer. FKF's S. Endestad almost tied things up with 27 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. After the ball was lifted in from the left, K. Seeger was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 30 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. A. Sørbøe charged down the left and had a wonderful opportunity to score the equaliser for FKF, but the shot went well wide of the goal. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Livertull enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

K. Fagernes of FKF seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 1 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by O. Kristiansen. Livertull's B. Fanton could have put the guests one up after 54 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but J. Børresen was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. B. Fanton delivered a good free kick from an excellent position 76 minutes into the game, but luck wasn't on Livertull's side this time and the ball went wide. H. Linnerud really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by R. Fjelde after a corner. Livertull had to make a substitution after 87 minutes. C. Nyhus limped off the field and was replaced by R. Colquist. Possession in this half belonged to Livertull, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

FKF's top performer was clearly S. Endestad. O. Kristiansen on the other hand, had a terrible day. Livertull's best player was K. Seeger. However, B. Fanton made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 1.
