Galaxy and Isabelle will fight for gold and fame 2015

Tuesday 28th of July was held the second semifinal of the Tallink Cup 2015. Galaxy versus Victoria at Kaknäs stadium (Stockholm) – kick off 12:00 local time.

Victoria has been continuously victorious also this year. They came as a second from group A and conquered Baltic Queen in the quarterfinal. It should be mentioned that through the tournament history Victoria has reached in all five years to top four, where they have played in the final 2011, 2014 and where 2012 they won of the tournament and are therefore in the Hall of Fame. It’s the fact, that Victoria has been most successful team so far. Galaxy continued as a second from group B and won the tight quarterfinal against Hotels. Galaxy and Victoria have been played against each other in 2012 in the final and 2013 in the quarterfinal, where both games won Victoria. But this is new tournament year and naturally both are highly motivated to reach to the final game.

It was a great game from both sides. Galaxy started with huuhaa and they had their opening goal already on the first minute of the game. Victoria recovered quickly form this and pressed aggressively and equalized the score and some minutes later scored another. But Galaxy didn’t just stand still and scored following equalizer and the leading goal followed. Good and equal game from both sides in first half and by the half time whistle score on the board 3:2 for Galaxy. On the second half Victoria started a little better and they again equalized the score and it seemed that there will be tension until the end. Maybe the reason was too few substitutes or Galaxy was just better this time, but Victoria’s game weakened and Galaxy as good and aggressive until the end scored three goals in a row. Victoria had also the penalty, which unfortunately they missed. Again it should me mentioned, that beautiful game with many goals from both sides and Galaxy was better this time.

Final score Galaxy versus Victoria 6:3 (half time 3:2). Big cheers to our friends Sweden and Galaxy – you will play for all the gold and fame this year in the Final against Isabelle.
