Lekang 2 - 0 Harpastum (392770129)

299 spectators had found their way to Lekangmarka, despite the heavy rain. René Machiels was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dion Løber and Nichlas Söderstål. Lekang tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Lineup: Bankó - Lindberg, Olsen, Grønli, Rollnes - Jespersson, Tømmerås, Follestad, Elveos - Sjöberg, Mykland.

Harpastum decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Cadell - Szklar, Díaz, Couxil, Kim - Onieva Mira, Elosegui, Matamala, Haldrup - da Fonseca, Bazaga.

Thighs bulging, P. Jespersson charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. C. Bankó looked great 34 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' S. Haldrup. O. Mykland had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. B. Olsen caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 39 minutes. This gave Lekang the 1 - 0 lead. The Lekang free kick 40 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of O. Mykland, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 2 - 0! With 43 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of Harpastum resulted in a counterattack that set J. Díaz free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Lekang, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave O. Lindberg from Lekang a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 71 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A late sliding challenge from O. Lindberg was deemed to be his second yellow card offence by the referee, resulting in him being sent off, and Lekang left a man down. L. Grønli spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

C. Sjöberg performed admirably for Lekang. L. Grønli on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Harpastum player was J. Díaz. A. Elosegui was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
