Galaxy will play in the final 2012

Tuesday 3rd of July was held the semi-final Tallink Cup 2012. Galaxy versus Hotels in Kaknäs stadium (Stockholm) – kick off 11:30 local time.

Hotels fight their way to semi-final from group D, where they won Star 7:1 and Superstar 3:1. On the last year's tournament Hotels reached to quarter-final, where they lost to Silja Europa. Galaxy made their way to semi-final from group C (game with Baltic Princess 3:2 and points from Europa from their abandonment). Galaxy and Hotels played also on the first stage of the last year´s tournament, where Hotels won 6:1.

This semi-final was really great game from both teams. Especially Galaxy played with excellent discipline and didn't waste their moments. On the first half Galaxy managed to score and after the half time whistle the score was one against zero for Galaxy. On the second half Hotels a bit reorganized their playing scheme and pressed and had lots of moments to score – but as sometimes it happens – Hotels just didn't had luck on this day. Hotels only scored the penalty, but Galaxy answered with two more goals.

Final score for Galaxy 3:1 (half time 1:0). And Galaxy will play in the final of Tallink Cup 2012!

Goals:
Patrik Romberg (Galaxy) 18´ 1:0
Patrik Romberg (Galaxy) 53´ 2:0
