The
first final of the day would see Nordic Vikings
2.0 versus Nordic Vikings. With thirteen games
of football already under their belts between
them, these two teams would need to summon one
last burst of energy to ensure they would be picking
up winners and not runners-up medals in the presentation.
As
well as the glory of becoming champions there
was office pride and bragging rights to play for
amongst the touring group.
Let's
have a look at the two teams:
Nordic
Vikings 2.0 (Scand)
Played
6: Won 5, drawn 0, lost 1.
Goal

Nordic
Vikings (Scand)
Played
7: Won 3, drawn 0, lost 4.
Goal
difference: +22 (25-25)
Top
goalscorer: Markus Johansson (16)
Unbeaten
Run: 3 (3 wins)
Clean
Sheets: 1
Both
teams came into the game on a bit of a roll with
4 successive wins and 3 successive wins respectively.
Statistically Nordic Vikings 2.0 were favourites.
A record of 5 wins and 1 draw and a goal difference
of +22 is phenomenal for the Plate competition.
These statistics are more in keeping with a team
who has qualified for the Cup. Whatever happened
here – two sets of medals and a trophy would be
heading back to the Nordic region.
