Superstar is a better Star

Monday 9th of May was held the first game of the Tallink Cup 2011 in Kalev stadium (Tallinn) – kick off 12:00.

This first historical match and rivalry was between Star and Superstar.

This is a very principal opposition situation! Both vessels sail on the same route (Tallinn-Helsinki) and because of the similarity of the operations and also the vessels, then their crew might be considered as equal. Star and Superstar are also in a friendly way internally competing against each other with better business results in everyday operations. Basically it's same principal opposition as Manchester United versus Manchester City in English Premier League or Benfica versus Lisbon Sporting in Primeira Liga in Portugal.
Bookies said that the betting situation before the game were fifty-fifty.

The game was hard from both sides, but not as equal as predicted – Star had quite many good opportunities, but Superstar did show better team play and realized most of the chances to score. Actually it was more like shower of goals from Superstar.

Final score for Superstar 7:2 (half time 4:1).

Superstar is a better Star – at least this year in the football field.
Ole-ole-oleee Superstar – well done!

Superstar will meet Baltic Princess in the 2nd stage game of the Tournament. The game date and time will be announced in coming weeks. Princess will be quite strong opponent for Superstar, as they are big and beautiful, but therefore Superstar must do their best in respect of its fastness and aggressiveness. Good luck the better star!
