Among the ingredients of the match were eight goals, several pitch storms and a high temperature as Rosenborg did not take the opportunity to climb to second place in the table. The away team had a nightmare start to the match and were 3-1 down at half-time. – Were you angry after that first round? – Yes, most people were angry in that dressing room there, but not verbally. Football is a team game and it depends on everyone, says Kjetil Rekdal to news. – We all have to take responsibility, and I start with myself. I am not satisfied with the result or performance. The fact that we are unable to contain it is sad, of course, says Rekdal. Casper Tengstedt describes the atmosphere in the dressing room as follows: – There was yelling and shouting loudly during the break. It was a bad atmosphere, he tells Discovery. DISAPPOINTED: Despite two scores, Casper Tengstedt could only take one point with him in Kristiansund.

We get to fight back after a bad first half and give everything we have. We get the result we wanted before they score at the last second, Tengstedt tells news. Compatriot Victor Jensen thought he might have won the match when he slipped to 4-3 a quarter of an hour before the end. Then the cup overflowed for several Rosenborg supporters who stormed the pitch in euphoria. But Kristiansund fought to the end and secured an important point in the bottom battle when Sam Rogers scored an own goal. NOT HAPPY: It was an angry Kjetil Rekdal who met his players in the half-time talk against Kristiansund. Photo: Svein Ove Ekornesvåg / NTB – This was torture for long periods, but with a fantastic ending, says Kristiansund coach Christian Michelsen to news. – Of course it’s sad, but it’s also a little self-inflicted. When we take the lead 4-3 we don’t attack with as much force anymore. We could have pushed on for the fifth goal, because Kristiansund was “dead and buried”, says Rekdal – Takes off completely It was after just over 20 minutes that the match caught fire in Kristiansund. The home team received a throw-in high in the pitch where the ball ended up with Brynjolfur Willumsson. The Icelander pulled off a man in elegant fashion before chipping the ball into the box. Sander Kartum, who headed Kristiansund in the management, was waiting there. BRILLIANT: Kristiansund’s trønder Sander Kartum.

The Dane served up a field crawler from a cross that found Leo Cornic at the back post. The right wing-back could easily score his first goal of the season. – This match takes off completely, said news commentator Arne Flatin. – Absolutely miserable And the half was not even 30 minutes old before goal number three was a fact. Khartum rode a merry-go-round with the Rosenborg defense and passed one by one. When there was only goalkeeper André Hansen left, the Trønder found Bendik Bye in the box who pushed in 2-1. – Always Sander Kartum. A bucket of trøndersodd for breakfast, said Discovery commentator Asbjørn Myhre. – A fantastic performance by Khartum, but absolutely miserable defensive play by Rosenborg, said expert Jonas Grønner. JUBILEE: Kristiansund could let loose the jubilation after a fantastic first half. Photo: Svein Ove Ekornesvåg / NTB KBK oozed energy and clearly showed that they gave all too important points in the bottom battle. A high Kristiansund pressure ended at the feet of Bendik Bye. The forward got a perhaps unnecessary return from Hansen which Snorre Strand Nilsen took care of and rolled in 3-1. – There Rosenborg stands and sleeps in his own defence, said news’s commentator. The home team had their clear best half of the season and could have led by even more before the break, but Torgill Gjertsen missed two great chances. Rosenborg made a total of three substitutions after the break and put in Per Ciljan Skjelbred, Victor Jensen and Samuel Rogers. – We are a good number two for most of the half. Then you will be swept off the field, said a clearly annoyed Rekdal during the break. Ellevill scoring And the away team rose considerably. After the hour played, Tengstedt got the ball on 16 meters and showed what a finisher he is. The Dane wide-sided the ball into the far corner behind a chanceless McDermott. But Tengstedt was not finished. In the 72nd minute, the super striker again got the ball on the left side. After a couple of overstepping feints, Tengstedt knocked the ball into the crossbar. A crazy score. – I hit the ball well. It was a wonderful feeling to see the ball go into the goal, says Tengstedt. RBK-STJERNE: Casper Tengstedt has really delivered after the transfer to Rosenborg. Photo: Svein Ove Ekornesvåg / NTB In the 76th minute, Strand Nilsen lost the ball in a dangerous position and Leo Cornic took advantage of that, serving substitute Victor Jensen. Nevertheless, Kristiansund had another gear to go on, and one minute into overtime, Sam Rogers was unlucky. A Kristiansund corner ended in the American running the ball into his own goal. Thus, Kristiansund took an important point in the battle for the bottom and has six points up on Sandefjord in the qualifying place. – We manage to push forward and bring out superpowers that give us a deserved point which can be very important, says KBK coach Michelsen.
