Hotels with full points to playoffs
Tallink Hotels versus Baltic Princess (group B) at Kalev stadium (Tallinn) – Monday 30th of May, kick off 10:00 local time. This is the third and last game in group B of Tallink Cup 2016.
Before the game is everything open in respect of who will continue to playoffs from this group. But it must be mentioned, that Princess needs to win this game at least with more than 4 goals, to qualify to QF-s. Naturally it will not be easy task to accomplish against the team of Hotels. Also it must be mentioned that both teams are champions of our Tournament and have a place in our Hall of Fame: Hotels is the winner of 2014 and BP (former Silja Europa) won it all 2011. During our history these teams have met 3 times, where both have won once and last year it was tie 0:0.
Start of the game was quite a shock for Hotels. On the very first minute Hotels goalkeeper dropped the ball from his hands so unfortunately, that Princess scored easy goal. But Hotels team didn’t throw their willpower to bushes. Right away strong pressure towards Princess goal, where the equalizer was done already 5 minutes later. The Hotels didn’t take their leg from the pedal and 3 more goals was reality before half time. Half time score 4:1 for Hotels. More or less the same picture continued also on the second half, where Hotels played the ball mainly on the opponent’s side of the pitch and Princess did quite dangerous counterattacks, but no more goals from them. Princess actually played quite well and did good fight. Only small thing was that Hotels played better and scored their goals and quite al load of them.
Final score Tallink Hotels versus Baltic Princess 7:1 (half time 4:1). Hotels showed again their power of will and good team play and continue as winner of group B with full points to playoffs.
