Kolverados 1 - 1 Bortelaget (384144787)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Kolverados Arena saw a crowd turnout of 3112. Marco Manuel Groeschel was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Livio Pamer and Vasco Barbosa. Kolverados had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Fjellvang - Haugrud, Rosenberg, Dahlberg, Hoff - Opheim, Flatås, Aarøy, Torbjørnsen - Jansen, Mørk.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Bortelaget. Starters: Hajjaji - Beau, Dziak, Wa - Kenyatta, Rada, Scherk, Drakulović, Rebih - Søviknes, Kamet.

J. Scherk had a good try after 9 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. The referee showed Bortelaget's M. Rada the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Kolverados took the lead 17 minutes in, as D. Torbjørnsen broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. With 36 minutes played, S. Mørk could have brought this one home for Kolverados as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. The visitors' E. Kamet came close to levelling the score after 37 minutes with a free kick that went just wide of the top left corner. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Bortelaget enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

S. Kenyatta made a good effort at breaking through on the right, but the home team's left defence cleared the ball to a corner. After 60 minutes, Bortelaget switched M. Rada with M. Michaelsen, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. T. Jansen unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. The bench was restless, and with 80 minutes passed Bortelaget's coach gave A. Guder the opportunity the player had been hoping for. J. Scherk reluctantly left the field. The Bortelaget captaincy was handed to M. Michaelsen. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as Bortelaget's A. Guder put the ball in the onion bag after 81 minutes to make it 1 - 1. Bortelaget's C. Drakulović was shown a yellow card after 82 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 83 minutes into the game, A. Guder had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came W. Hadasik. Bortelaget's H. Rebih could have put the guests one up after 86 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but V. Fjellvang was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. After 87 minutes, Kolverados's A. Flatås fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! 88 minutes into the game, a swerving free kick by K. Opheim almost resulted in the home team taking the lead, but the shot glanced harmlessly off the frame of the goal. Kolverados claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

T. Jansen performed admirably for Kolverados. On the other hand, V. Fjellvang's play was disheartening. Most important Bortelaget player was E. Kamet. L. Wa turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 1.
