Tollbring’s magic
It’s safe to say that Jerry Tollbring was one of the instrumental players for GOG in both wins of the Last 16 phase. At the away match in Spain, Tollbring netted 11 times, helping his team fly back home with a two-goal lead. His left wing skills were shown in the re-match too as he passed the opponent's defence successfully, especially in the first 30 minutes. Tollbring finished the night with nine goals, celebrating the quarter-final spot afterwards.
