29 August 2024 at 21:43 Brutal blow for Molde – lost penalty drama Molde ended up in a thriller in the match against Elfsborg for a place in the Europa League. It went to penalty kicks, where Elfsborg were supreme. Molde missed two of their four penalties, partly thanks to a very unusual variation from Eirik Hestad. The midfielder lobbed the ball well over the goal on what was Molde’s third penalty kick. – He probably regrets it half way there, Hestad, commented VG’s football expert Carl-Erik Torp. Mats Møller Dæhli is disappointed after not reaching the Europa League. – We have practiced it in training. It happens that we have some penalty kicks in training. We could certainly have handled it better, but it’s easy to say afterwards, he tells VG after the match. The blue jerseys came to the second leg with a tough starting point. At home, they had delivered a weak match and lost 0–1. Thus, Erling Moe’s crew had to turn the tide, and they managed to do that to a certain extent when Veton Berisha sent the blue shirts into the lead. The goal came after a brilliant assist from Magnus Wolff Eikrem, who was in great form in Borås in Sweden. Nevertheless, it “only” lasted until extra time, and the Moldens had to either score another goal or bet on victory on penalty kicks. In the extra periods it was even, but no great chances for either team. However, it wasn’t up to the efforts of the teams, and cramps abounded on the eve of the extra innings. Nevertheless, the teams had to go into penalty kicks. There, Elfsborg emerged victorious and secured a place in the Europa League. This means that Molde has to make do with the Serie Liga, i.e. level three in Europe.
