With Saturday’s victory, Molde extends its winning streak to eleven games in a row in the Eliteserien. Only Lillestrøm has done that before them. That time back in 1986. – That says an incredible amount about the team we have. We are a strong collective. It is only ourselves who can stop it here, said Ola Brynhildsen to Discovery. Returning from his first national team meeting with Norway’s A national team, Brynhildsen sent the visitors into the lead in the 23rd minute of play. Magnus Grødem played a simple pass to the national team player, who turned away the Tromsø defense and clinched the ball low in the corner. – It was a good score, but we are not quite where we should be. We are comfortable, but we create far too little. We have to step up a bit in the second half, the goalscorer told Discovery during the break. The hosts fought hard for a reduction and got a handful of good chances. Nevertheless, it was 0-1 when the teams went to the break. Called for a penalty Halfway into the second half, the Tromsø players called for a penalty after Ruben Yttergård Jenssen was elbowed in the back by David Fofana inside the penalty area. However, referee Espen Eskås did not agree and allowed the game to continue. – It’s an extremely bad game from us, but we show that mentality when we win on bad days. A cynical victory. We show that even if we struggle, we manage to pull it off, said Brynhildsen. Molde thunders on towards the league title. They now lead the league with 16 points down to Lillestrøm in 2nd place. “Fugla” has admittedly played one game less. Only need six points Now the blue-clad from the “City of Roses” only need two wins or six points in the last six games to be able to call themselves league champions. In the last six games, Molde meets HamKam (H), Lillestrøm (B), Rosenborg (H), Viking (B), Sandefjord (H) and Vålerenga (B). Meanwhile, they will also face Irish Shamrock Rovers, Swedish Djurgården and Belgian Gent in the conference league. (© NTB)
