- An excellent display of counter-attacking football virtually
  secured B/G a place in the cup final even before the second
  leg. The home team got an early lead but two quick goals for
  the visitors turned the match around. In the second half KIL
  pressed hard for the equalizer, but were caught on the break
  on a lot of occations. The winning margin could easily have been
  even more emphatic for the team from Northern Norway as KIL 
  gave it all up in the last 10 minutes or so.

- A stern defensive play by VIF gave them a good result before
  the second leg next Wednesday. TIL opened very brightly, but
  faded shortly afterwards, and for the rest of the game were 
  unable to penetreate the visitors defensive 4-5-1 formation.
  In fact, VIF could have snatch victory themselves, as keeper
  Grenersen fumbled the ball on one occation and the home team
  had to save on the line. A very interesting second leg is
  expected.
