Skála vs. Tampere United, UEFA Inter Toto Cup June 18, 2005

Skála hold Finnish side Tampere United to halftime, but can’t hold on in the second half.

June 18, 2005: UEFA Inter Toto Cup, Skála - Tampere United, first leg:

Skála – Tampere United 0-2 (0-0)
0-1 A. Hynynen 57’
0-2 A. Hynynen 68’

Just 5 years ago, Skála were playing in the 3rd division, but in 2002 they played in the first division for the first time and in 2004 they became no. 3 in the league and thereby qualified to play in the Inter Toto Cup. - From 3rd division to European football in just 5 years; that’s not bad…

---------

Skála did very well in the first half and held Tampere United from scoring.

But 12 minutes into the second half, Tampere penetrated the Skála defence and scored to 1-0 and 11 minutes later, Tampere made it 2-0. A. Hynynen scored both goals.

Traditionally Faroese teams are very poor away from home, and with a 2 goal deficit before the away match, Skála won’t have much hope of qualifying for the next round.

June 26, 2005: UEFA Inter Toto Cup, Tampere United - Skála, second leg:

Tampere United - Skála 1-0 (0-0)
1-0 Räsänen 67'

As expected, Skála did not qualify for the next round of the Inter Toto Cup, as Skála lost 1-0 in the second leg match away to Tampere United on Sunday.

The result at half time was 0-0, but 67 minutes into the second half, Räsänen scored for Tampere United, and that was the only goal in the match.

Tampere United therefore won 1-0 on the day and 3-0 on aggregate.
