T02:C14 - S02:E14 - Mia Kicks a Goal

It's the annual soccer match between Hasendorf and the neighbouring town of Falkenburg. As the Baron, Ben is expected to be the referee and he finds himself under pressure from both sides before the game even begins. Hasendorf hasn't won in decades and all the locals are keen to see Ben favour their side. As well, Mia is playing and Ben doesn't want to do anything that will upset his friendship with her. To complicate matters, Lili reveals that the coach of Falkenburg is the newly appointed Head of the Tourist Authority and they need him to give their castle favourable publicity on their website. She suggests that it would be very helpful if Ben could therefore be 'sympathetic' to his team. Suddenly, Ben realizes that a small town 'friendly' game has become a battleground for high stakes — and he's in the middle of it. During the game, Ben tries to be even handed and make decisions that alternatively favour one side, then the other. But all that does is antagonize supporters of both sides. Seeing his dilemma, Sam talks to Ben at half time and suggests he try a radically different approach. But will it work?
