Another Cup defeat to the French

Late on Friday evening the Vikings take on Olympic Gaulois. After some rain and lightning the game finally kicks off with a 15 minutes delay. Vikings starts in a 3-5-2. The first half is without much heart, pace and energy from the Vikings. After 35 mins OG scores to 1-0. After a few short passes the ball gets flicked into the penalty box. An OG player is wide open and easily scores on a header. Coach Østergaard was angry in the half time break and asked for more Viking spirit and commitment.
Vikings made a good start to the second half but without converting the extra effort into goals. The OG midfield and central defenders managed to keep a strong defensive formation throughout the game and keep the Vikings from big chances. Skriver comes on for Jesper Hansen. After 70 minutes Elbo gets an injury and gets swapped for Lasse. OG takes immediate advantage of the change in defense and scores on a through ball from the left side which leaves the OG striker wide open - 2-0. Vikings get a corner kick and after a few tackles the ball ends up with Panda and he somehow manages to put the ball in the net, 2-1 for OG. Vikings try to bounce back but OG gets another free run towards goal and scores easily to 3-1. Karl Martin comes on for Leslie. Vikings are not able to respond and allows OG to score the final goal, again an easy finish from the OG striker. Final result 4-1 for OG. Thank you to the supporters, OG and the referees for a fair game.
