Sunday results

GZ - Inter Tallinn:

The beginning of the first half went on a collision course, on every attack from GZ, Inter Tallinn players answered with counter attacks and first opened the score on the third minute.

Apparently, it benefited GZ players, forcing them to firmly take the thread of the game in their hands, returning two goals within 2 minutes.
In the remaining time of the first half they totally dominated on the pitch, and, despite the fatal bad luck of one of the best players in this match Ilja Kulikov, who repeatedly hit all the post and finally broke the bad luck hitting now under the crossbar from 5 meters after a corner.

The second half began with attempts of Inter players to seize the initiative, but in the second minute they conceded a quick counterattack, which brought GZ the fourth goal against Inter. After that, over the next ten minutes the game turned into a quiet channel: having a comfortable advantage in three balls, the GZ players easily restrained Inters attacks, whose game that day is clearly wasn’t the best.

After another miss by Ilja Kulikov, who was evidently tired of his bad luck back in the first half, he decided to fight back with the gate post kicking it and moving the gate. For this behavior Ilja got the yellow card.

Later Inter players still found the strength to inflate the pace of the game. GZ on the other hand played rigidly and quickly earned and exceeded the limit of 4 fouls, but Inter Tallinn players could not take advantage of executing 10 meters kicks without wall, twice missing the opportunity.

On the 36th minute the episode occurred, which nearly became a repetition of WC2010 in the game between Germany and England, where the goal was not counted, after Lampard's strike the ball off the crossbar landed clearly over the goal line and bounced into the hands of the goalkeeper. This time, the goal from Inter player Igor Burlakov, who became the best player of the match in his team, was counted.
After, the game could change in favor of Inter, however Vitali Tsutsman, who also became the best player of the match in GZ team, accurately stroke three minutes before the end of the game and almost buried the hopes of Inter's victory in this match.

Yet it should be noted that the Inter fought until the end, bringing in the last minutes attack after attack on the gates of the GZ, thus forcing opposite team again commit fouls, giving it the possibility of breaking through the Inter 10-meter kicks, twice what they did well, but could not avoid the defeat after a good Friday night game vs Kalev Vesi was not enough on Sunday.
Result 5-4 in favor of the GZ can be considered natural: their game was more coherent and sharp.
Man of the Match: Igor Burlakov (Inter) and Vitali Tsutsman (GZ).

Doker - Jorma:

Despite the relatively tight final score, the course of this match left no doubt who will win: nevertheless Doker players strongly owned initiative throughout the game.
However, it was Jorma who opened the score on 5th minute accurately executed free kick punishing opponents for committing foul near they own penalty area.

This forced Doker players to play more accurate to no longer provide such “gifts” to the opponent. Owning a competitive advantage, Doker players after just two minutes were able to recoup: once the precise pass of Igor Brattsuk lead to Sergei Zakin to score. And five minutes Igor Brattsuk successfully implemented a penalty for a committed foul from Jorma’s side in their penalty area.

In particular those two players plus Aleksand Zavjalov by right can be called the best players in Doker squad defining the match.
By the 27th minute of the game Doker players brought through the score to large leading 5:1. Then acted relaxed Doker let possible Jorma to seize the initiative and conceded 2 goals within 5 minutes. However, it is not particularly troubled players Docker, who once again regained the initiative and to the 37th minute “returned back” two goals to Jorma, bringing the score of its goals to seven.
In the last two minutes of the game Doker again allowed Jorma players to score two goals, but no more.

The result of 7:5 in favor of well-deserved victory Doker. It is hard to say what was that Jorma did not have in the match vs Doker…Maybe light boldness with which they have recently outplayed one of the leaders of the tournament - Green Way (Green Way).

Man of the Match: Sergey Zakin (Doker) and Anton Volkov (Jorma).
