Hotels continuously victorious
On Thursday 16th of June was held the second quarterfinal of the Tallink Cup 2016. Hotels versus Romantika at Wismari stadium (Tallinn) – kick off 10:30 local time.
Hotels arrived to quarterfinal as a winner with maximum points from group B. Hotels team seems to be quite strong this year and the aggregate of the goals from the group level games is also quite impressive. Even as they have already won the tournament 2014, then surely they want to repeat it this year. Romantika came to playoffs from group B as a second with one loss to Galaxy, who is now, after their quarterfinal against Shuttle, already waiting in the semifinal. Hotels and Romantika (former BQ) have played only once against each other 2014 in semifinal, when Hotels won the game. Both are this year ready and eager to continue to the fight for the medals.
Sort of rainy day in Tallinn, so the artificial grass pitch was quite slippery, what will make the ball to move fast. Game started with some dangerous moves by Romantika. After that, basically from the first attack by Hotels, the score was opened. Hotels continued to press and moved the ball quite talented, what lead to one opportunity after another and 3 goals founded their way to Romantikas net. It should be mentioned that all 4 goals were real beauties. Half time score 4:0 for Hotels. Second half and the pictured didn’t change much. The game mainly on the Romantikas half of the stadium with strong press by Hotels. Despite of the strong press Romantika managed to do quite many dangerous counterattacks. All in all it was Hotels game and they did it beautifully with full of good teamwork.
Final score Hotels versus Romantika 6:0 (half time 4:0). Excellent performance by Hotels. They are strong and dangerous and continuously victorious and now in semifinals – well done dudes.
Goals:
Krister-Kaspar Rannamaa (Hotels) 3´ 1:0; 28` 4:0
Hannes Hinn (Hotels) 17´ 2:0; 20` 4:0
Karlis Aises (Hotels) 61´ 5:0
Martin Gerndorf (Hotels) 64´ 6:0

So the first semifinal pair is clear Hotels vs Galaxy. Semifinals shall be held during the month of July. For the second semifinal pair we need to wait for the other quarterfinals results, what will be held 28th of June in Stockholm Isabelle vs Office and 29th of June in Tallinn Victoria vs Baltic Queen. Thank you very much for virtuous show this year dear friends of Romantika, keep your heads and emotions high and see you again next year.
