SOCCER MEDIA REPORTS:

 

YOUTH HELPS TEAM STROMMEN SCORE FIVE     7th May 2009

Translated from Norwegian media reports by Per Kristiansen

 

Team Strommen's future looks good. Sixteen year old Cathrine Dekkerhus started in Nasra Abdullah's usual mid-field position, while coach Janne Jansson also started 19 year olds Anne Myren Stenstvedt and Eli Guldbrandsen. The changes seem to have paid off, with a 5-0 victory.

 

 The match served to show how big the difference is between the top and the bottom of the Norwegian Topserrien League. Team Strømmen outplayed Fortuna Ulusund completely, and should have had more than 5 goals. Dekkerhus admits that "We should have had 3 or 4 more. We did tend to hold on to the ball too long, and so we missed many great opportunities."

 

Coach Jansson is proud of the youngsters in the team. "Dekkerhus is up and coming and really one of our future players. She will be amazing. He was also pleased about many other things yesterday.

 

In addition to his starting team, which played a 4-4-2 formation, he has Nasra Abdullah on the bench, together with Lene Storløkken who has a minor injury. Then, he has good depth in reserve Ingrid Moe Wold,  and the newly signed Ingrid Wang Anderssen.

 

For this match. Janssen moved Rhian Wilkinson into the midfield from defence, and the effect was telling: The midfield was brilliant. In fact, Wilkinson started the scoring after only 78 seconds, when she pounced on a back pass and beat the keeper.

 

After this, Ida Elise Enget scored, then Marita Skammelsrud Lund and Una Nwajei. At half time Team Strommen led by 4 goals to 0.

 

In the second half, Team Strommen created many more scoring opportunities, but they were only able to score once from Una Nwajei who scored a second goal off the goalpost. . Unfortunately, she also missed a penalty shot.

 

For Fortuna to win this game would have required a soccer miracle.

 

Team Strommen played (4-4-2): Maria Yatrakis Marita (goalkeeper)  Grove, Annex M. Stenstvedt (Eli Guldbrandsen at 72 mine), Hilde His (Marit Sand at 45 mine), Connie Johannson Cathrine Covers, Mari Gnarled (Nasra Abdullah at 72 mine), Diana Matheson, Rhian Wilkinson Una Nwajei, Ida Elision Angel.
