In order to secure the gold, Molde needed more points than Bodø/Glimt – and for a long time it seemed to be going towards series gold for the Moldans, when Sandefjord took the lead at Aspmyra. But Glimt persevered with a very effective turnaround against Sandefjord in Bodø, and that meant that the series champion title was not handed out quite yet. That does not worry the Molde coach, however. – You can see it in the tunnel opening over there, you must be able to say that. So we have to be really careful with each other now, so that we don’t think that things will go away by themselves again. It never does in this life, says Erling Moe to news. Because even though Molde thrashed HamKam at home, it didn’t amount to gold in itself. Captain-double HAPPY: Erling Moe (tv) was happy after the 5-0 victory.

Molde now stands with 63 points. If Glimt is to “steal” the gold, they must win their remaining matches, while Molde must lose all theirs. – If you ask me, that won’t happen, Moe says of that scenario. – We are heading towards what will be the season of the ages. With both cup gold and European games and then we’ll be drawn into the series and. There has never been anything better. It’s that simple, he told Discovery. Molde player Ola Brynhildsen does not want to say the word “gold” quite yet. – No, I’m not going to say that until we get it, says Brynhildsen to news. New record It was none other than the captain himself who opened the goal account in Molde. Magnus Wolff Eikrem was served by Kristian Eriksen and bent the ball into the far post. And then the scoring party began. DOUBLE: Eikrem unleashed the jubilation after sending Molde into the lead early in the match.

From there, Brynhildsen could easily score 2-0 on an open goal. As it approached the half-hour mark, Eikrem fired once again, but the shot hit the post. Fortunately for Molde, Markus André Kaasa was first on the rebound and increased the lead to 3–0 for the home team. Just before the break, Eikrem put on his goal hat again. HamKam goalkeeper Lars Jendal first saved a shot attempt from Eriksen, but the rebound ended up at the feet of the captain, who quite easily scored his second of the day. In the second half, Molde was somewhat tamer in the first half, but the goal tap was not completely turned off. Substitute David Fofana stood all alone at the front post, and headed in the corner kick from Etzaz Hussain. The victory is Molde’s 12th in a row, which is a new record in the Eliteserien. Turning after the break A little further north, at the Aspmyra stadium, Bodø/Glimt struggled for a long time against bottom team Sandefjord. Just before the break, they also got a real cold shower, when Quint Jansen sent the away team into the lead. But the Bodø heads did not hang around for very long. Barely ten minutes into the second half, Hugo Vetlesen was on the rebound from Sandefjord goalkeeper Storevik, and reduced the lead for the home team. Then it wouldn’t take more than four minutes before former Sandefjord player Brice Wembangomo scored against his old club and turned the game around for Glimt. – I don’t even remember it. I just remember that I got the ball and then I shoot, says a smiling Wembangomo to news. Eliteserien’s top scorer Amahl Pellegrino also signed up. First he found an Ola Solbakken in the box, who was then unselfish and sent the ball back to the top scorer. Thus, Pellegrino could easily score his 21st goal of the season. The turnaround was complete with another Vetlesen score on the eve.
