10 goals and Shuttle in playoffs
Shuttle versus Office, Wednesday 7th of June at Wismari stadium (Tallinn) – kick off 10:30 local time. This is the third and last game of group B and the last group level games of the Tallink Cup 2017.
Both teams have had already a game against Silja Europa, where Shuttle lost and Office team collected 1 point. Therefore Europa has basically guaranteed its place in quarterfinals. But who will be another team to continue and who is moving to playoffs as a first or second from group B, will be decided in this game. According to the records of history these team have never played against the other.
Game started with lots of running from one side of the field to the other. Score was opened by Shuttle, where there was lots of struggle in their opponent’s box and their midfielder Vettik scored a lucky goal. Some ten minutes later Office got a free kick from 17 meters and their striker Ibishi scored with beautiful strong kick to the upper corner of the goal. A strong and equal fight continued with a lot of noquality moments. Just before half time beautiful pass from Shuttle striker to his team mate Kark, who scored an easy goal – Office defense line helpless. Half time score 2:1 for Shuttle team. Second half the back and forward running continued. It must be admit, that the game allinall was quite not very great quality from both sides. But nevertheless, 15 minutes to go and both teams quite tired already – especially the Office. And then started to happen - goal after goal - almost one goal per minute. Shuttle scored their 3rd and 4th and Office answered with their 2nd. Then Shuttle scored their 5th and 6th and Office got penalty, what was in confidence scored by their midfielder Ahlstedd. And this rain of goals was ended in the last minute of the game, where Shuttle scored their last. Very open game and technically maybe not the most beautiful game by both teams, but a really huge amount of goals.
Final score Shuttle versus Office 7:3 (half time 2:1). Altogether 10 goals and Shuttle in playoffs.
