Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 27908 at Tveita Parkeringsplass today.

Lineup: Stenvik - Øvlisen, Christiansen, Olsen - Nordli, Aas, Trondsen, Lindquist, Myklebust - Nilsen, Salte.

After 5 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. Ø. Salte easily put the ball away to give the lead to Tveitalianere. 1 - 0 Given a free kick in a difficult position after 27 minutes, Tveitalianere tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. Kanonkula's S. Arvesen was shown a yellow card after 30 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Tveitalianere put themselves up 2 - 0 when K. Nilsen broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. After this, you could see that the players of Tveitalianere were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. K. Nilsen squirmed through their central defence after 43 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. Tveitalianere managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when K. Nilsen cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. That made three goals for K. Nilsen and he was marked down for the hat trick. 4 - 0 was the halftime score. Tveitalianere enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 78 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 Tveitalianere players could smell victory in the air. T. Trondsen wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Skårdal after 46 minutes. The Tveitalianere captaincy was handed to Ø. Salte. 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. Ø. Salte increased the lead for Tveitalianere to 5 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Tveitalianere's Ø. Salte increased the lead to 6 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 57 minutes. At that, Ø. Salte was noted down for a hat trick! Tveitalianere's Ø. Salte had an excellent opportunity after 59 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Tveitalianere increased the lead as M. Myklebust struck to make the score 7 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. After 75 minutes, K. Christiansen put Tveitalianere ahead 8 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Possession in this half belonged to Tveitalianere, who controlled the ball 80 percent of the time.

Tveitalianere's top performer was clearly Ø. Salte. On the other hand, J. Skårdal's play was disheartening. Kanonkula's best player was H. Tuvdahl. T. Aadland on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 8 - 0.
