Norwich 1 - 1 Cebollitas (389436533)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 29933 to Carrow Road. Mattias ''Lir'' Risborg was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Anders Stjärnbo and Bastien André. Norwich had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Østergaard - Bogdan, Galip, Korkkanen - Aranda, Kiilerich, Schou, Bergholt, Grieco - Gorbói, Alberto.

Cebollitas decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Sønksen - Baldi, Aunes Melchor, Paarup - Almstad, Abdul, Jermak, Heding, Casner - Toreli, Darwinkel.

Today, Cebollitas's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. A well placed corner kick from T. Korkkanen was followed by C. Alberto's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Norwich, the score now 1 - 0. Norwich put in a good effort on the right, but N. Schou saw his volley fly wide of the mark 26 minutes into the game. Cebollitas's counterattacks created a good chance for T. Abdul on the right after 27 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. With 40 minutes played, B. Gorbói of Norwich fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 42 minutes, M. Paarup broke through the centre and found himself alone with the keeper. H. Østergaard made a great block, though. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Cebollitas, with 51 percent of the ball.

Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as Cebollitas's J. Darwinkel put the ball in the onion bag after 53 minutes to make it 1 - 1. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when J. Jermak was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 82 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! Possession in this half belonged to Cebollitas, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

Norwich's best player was C. Alberto. H. Østergaard was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Cebollitas player was without a doubt R. Almstad. On the other hand, M. Toreli's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 1.
