The 3rd/4th place match produced great emotion. There was everything in this game, which showed what
the essence of football is: goals, plenty of chances, goalkeeping saves and a penalty shoot–out. S. Thomassen
put Lapland ahead from a free kick. Just one minute later Hammoud equalized. What followed was a scoring
festival. In eight minutes both teams scored 5 goals! Before the break Provence led 3-2, however Lapland
created a few good opportunities to level the score. In the second-half the determined players from Lapland
finally equalized (again S. Thomassen – this time from the spot). In the 82nd minute Reginiussen scored
the fourth goal for Lapland and it seemed that they would beat Provence until one of the last attacks ended
in an equalizer after Hammoud’s nice dribble. The winner was decided after penalties. Provence’s best scorer,
Hammoud, missed his penalty and Lapland’s players were faultless and won the bronze medal.
