Mo.com 0 - 8 Airlines (384178058)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 7988 that came out to Ytteren Stadion. Peter Jovanovic was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Oskars Ozols and Mait Nurm. Mo.com tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Hestad - Mjelde, Andreassen, Tvedt, Holtan - Sørheim, Rikardsen, Pettersen, Hansen - Backe, Svartbekk.

Airlines decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. The following players took the field: Danek - Frisch, Haga, Hedeboe, Bakke, Ajbour - Byriel, Vejlgaard, Lefèvre - Płaskociński, Chauveau.

Airlines mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. With 23 minutes played, Airlines's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to F. Lefèvre he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 1. Airlines players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. S. Chauveau showed why he is feared on the counterattack, breaking through in the middle and scoring for Airlines after 27 minutes to make the score 0 - 2. After 32 minutes, Airlines's L. Byriel burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. M. Haga enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. The visitors' S. Chauveau took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 34 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Airlines. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Airlines lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 36 minutes in, Mo.com appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. It was obvious that team Airlines had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. After 41 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave S. Chauveau a chance to increase the lead for Airlines, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 5. This third goal completed a hattrick for S. Chauveau. F. Lefèvre received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 43 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 6. The Airlines fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 44 minutes into the game, Mo.com had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to weak. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 6. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Airlines, with 81 percent of the ball.

During the break, Mo.com's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to passable organisation. With 49 minutes played, Airlines put themselves up 0 - 7 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was S. Bakke. F. Lefèvre increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 8. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for F. Lefèvre. 58 minutes into the match, A. Ajbour came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. With the scoreboard showing that 64 minutes had been played, Airlines nearly put themselves up another goal after S. Chauveau came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. Airlines enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 83 percent of possession.

H. Svartbekk performed admirably for Mo.com. F. Hestad turned in a dismal performance, however. Airlines's top performer was clearly E. Vejlgaard. A. Danek was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 8.
