Two strongly pressing teams and coaches met for a showdown at Aker Stadion on Wednesday evening. Erling Moe’s men struck and won 3–0 over AaFK. A long-awaited victory for the blue/whites, who were second at the bottom of the table before this match. Aalesunds FK is still in last place in the table after five games played. Zero points and zero goals so far this season.

Now MFK is in 12th place in the table with 4 points.

This is the best of the year for us. – So you are after all a little positive after this evening? – We must get up and take points going forward. The situation is tough, but at the same time we have faced Bodø/Glimt, Vålerenga and Molde, and there are tough games. And with a team that has not settled down properly, for various reasons, says Nilsen. But the coach says they are motivated to beat Haugesund at the weekend, and that it will be an incredibly important match.

Nilsen says the last few days have been demanding. – It’s incomprehensible to me, I don’t know where they got it from. And then there will be chaos. So there are two days where you have to try to stay focused. It has been an incredibly demanding start to the match.
