An amazing journey continues after TFK secured a place in the final of Trøstecupen (Consolation Cup) beating Hedmark neighbour Animasjon 1-2 earlier today.
It was a big and exciting day for everyone following the club. TFK-boss, Homner, called it “the biggest game in our history”, and fans and supporters flocked to Oslo to prepare themselves for what to come; the semifinals of the Consolation Cup.
However, the game started in the worst possible way as Animasjon scored on their first chance. One minute later, our Ethiopian legend Woldedelassie, got injured before William Bramsen missed a penalty shot. A terrible start.
Half an hour into the game, coach Homner gathered the players something seamed to happen. In two minutes, Joaquim Rodrigues and Joona Poskiparta turned the game around with two goals making it 1-2 for half time. A lead!
In the second half, TFK continued to tighten their grip on the game, and created a large amount of chances. At the end of the match, the chances was 1-10 in our favour, meaning we probably should have scored more goals.
After ninety minutes of play and two added minutes, the referee finally blew his whistle and the black and yellow travelling fans went bananas on the terraces. The TFK-players took to the mid circle and both smiled and cried. Coach Homner had to sit down for a moment, before celebrating with the players and fans.
- We miss a penalty, concede a goal and gets our best player injured within the first twenty five minutes, and still manage to pull it off. It’s such an amazing feeling and I’m so proud of the boys who followed the tactical plan wholeheartedly!
A fly in the ointment this day was, off course, Meles Woldedelassie who went to the ground after twisting his right ankle and had to leave the pitch on his birthday.
Club doctor Richardt Groth was still optimistic:
- At the moment it looks like he will be away for two weeks, but we will obviously do everything in our power to get him recovered quicker.
Now, forth division side Xemriet FC awaits in the final. They're ranked as the 390th best team in Norway, while our boys are ranked 810. In other words, quite a challenge!
