Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 10865 at Superbra today. Bonifaz Rodbertus was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Boško Škerget and Alois Steineder. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Ludde. They fielded: Falch - Langaas, Strandvad, Byberg, Olsen - Solstad, Solli, Olsen, Hillersøy - Lygre, Lomeland.

Tveitalianere decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Stenvik - Øvlisen, Christiansen, Olsen - Nordli, Aas, Trondsen, Lindquist, Myklebust - Nilsen, Salte.

Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 19 minutes into the match left Tveitalianere's Ø. Salte completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. After 20 minutes, Tveitalianere's M. Aas burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. K. Christiansen received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 24 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Tveitalianere fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 26 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 4 as M. Aas finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After this, you could see that the players of Tveitalianere were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. 0 - 4 was the halftime score. Tveitalianere enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

M. Aas wanted to play on, but the Tveitalianere coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by H. Kvernberg. The coach of Tveitalianere was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, J. Skårdal came on for T. Trondsen. Ø. Salte was the new captain of Tveitalianere - handed the armband by the departing player. C. Lindquist left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. H. Ottem was the replacement. After 59 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed M. Myklebust to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 5. Some fine movement on the left led to a Tveitalianere goal after 68 minutes, making it 0 - 6. Ø. Salte was noted down as the scorer. After 73 minutes, Tveitalianere sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached H. Ottem, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 7. After 78 minutes Ludde's E. Lygre contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. Tveitalianere's H. Ottem was shown a yellow card after 83 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Ludde, as H. Solstad left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. K. Meling took his place on the field. J. Øvlisen of Tveitalianere took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 85 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 8. Tveitalianere claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 64 percent.

R. Lomeland performed admirably for Ludde. S. Olsen was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Tveitalianere player was without a doubt Ø. Salte. On the other hand, A. Olsen's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 8.
