From group A has Victoria already qualified their place in playoffs. This is the game, where will be fight between Latvia and Sweden to clarify, who is the second team to continue. In respect of this year’ experience and played games and their score, then it might be that Isabelle could be favorite, bus as there is saying, the ball is round and days are different – also in football. Also, as the scouts have said, that Symphony has quite skillful and full of surprises team. The teams have played against each other in all last three years, where Isabelle won last year, 2013 won Symphony and 2012 the game ended 2:2. Both have reached in the past to quarterfinals, and let’s wish them best to climb this year much higher.

Game started right away with the pressure and dominance by Isabelle. As Symphony arrived to the game with not the full team, then they had quite a lot of difficulties to arrange effective game. Isabelle opened the score on nine minutes and second followed. By the half time the score was already 5:0 for Isabelle. But it was a game full of fight from both sides, as Symphony didn’t just sit in the defense and they managed to make quite many counter attacks – but no luck and result. On the second half Isabelle continued their good game and pressure and it meant 3 more goals. In the very end of the game there were 2 red cards to Isabelle´s key players. Naturally Isabelle’s team didn’t like the referee’s decisions, but we must accept the referee’s decisions.
