Tactical Story

Standout Players

Haslum’s number 10 was the architect of the comeback, dictating play and providing two assists. His movement between the lines was too much for Nordstrand’s midfield. The Haslum striker’s finishing was clinical. For Nordstrand, the goalscoring left‑back stood out, but he was unable to stop the eventual tide.

Table Impact
