Very principal opposition, as both vessels are sailing in Tallinn-Helsinki route and are in the respect of service and operation very similar and equal. Star and Superstar met also in the football field in last year Tournament, where Superstar proved, that they are the better Star (score 7:2), at least in football. Despite that memorable fact, Superstar was eliminated from the last year´s tournament in the second leg of the semi-finals, where they lost to their too beautiful colleague - Baltic Princess.

This year´s match started also with the active play by Superstar, where they showed skillful ball movement and willingness to score – therefore first half 4:0 to Superstar. Star´s players' substitution reserve was only 1 player and this impacted heavily to the game. On the second half Superstar continued their resulted performance, but Star managed in the last 10 minutes to make some good mess in front of their opponent goal and therefore they scored twice. In conclusion it was game with huge score with lots of goals, where two Superstar players managed to do "hat tricks".
