– It is a scandal that defines the match. It’s as sunny as it gets. The VAR room has the same pictures for us and more, thunders Molde coach Erling Moe to TV 2 after playing 3-3 against Bodø/Glimt. He aims for a penalty which Ola Brynhildsen eventually misses. Afterwards, the TV images showed that Haikin probably leaves the line before the shot goes off. If that is the case, the penalty should have been taken again. Moe tells news that he went straight into the referee’s dressing room to have a chat with the team. – Unfortunately, the referee’s decision will be decisive. I don’t know what to say anymore, says the Molde coach. VAR is only supposed to intervene if there is a clear and obvious error by the referees on the pitch. – For me, it’s a puzzle I can’t understand. There will probably be another excuse tomorrow, says Moe. Fire level with Bodø/Glimt It was a rollercoaster of an elite series round as Bodø/Glimt narrowly retained the series lead. Nevertheless, Brann is breathing down the neck of the reigning champion after crushing Odd 3-0 in Skien. It happened after Glimt first fell behind 0-2 in Molde, before they turned to a 3-2 lead. But the home team put sticks in the wheels and made sure it was 3-3 and the points were shared. This means that there is a dead heat in terms of points between the two gold candidates. Both Glimt and Brann have 55 points with three rounds remaining. Before Sunday’s games, only four rounds remained. There was great excitement attached to the results both at the top and bottom of the Eliteserien. Brann has suddenly signed up for the gold medal in earnest after Bodø/Glimt has gone on several banana peels. Before the round, two points separated the teams. Brann and Molde should do something about that. Dream opening for Molde and Brann And the home team, as well as Brann, got a dream start to the big game. After the quarter, the blue jerseys Glimt played in the counter. It was Ola Brynhildsen who turned on the turbo and scored 1–0 for Molde. Things were to get worse for Kjetil Knutsen’s crew. Molde almost ran over them, and Ola Brynhildsen doubled the lead. Thus, Glimt was in huge trouble in a close gold match. – The two goals are completely unreal to see, said TV 2’s football expert Jesper Mathisen on the channel’s broadcast. – Kjetil Knutsen must have clicked at an angle where he is standing and watching, he continued.

Photo: Svein Ove Ekornesvåg / NTB – Brain hemorrhage from another world Glimt should reduce and gain hope of getting back into the game after scoring by Ulrik Saltnes. But then Brice Wembangomo was to mess it up properly. First he played the ball straight into the legs of Mads Enggård, who was then completely alone with the goalkeeper. Glimt-backe tried to recover, but Enggård tackled badly and a penalty kick was awarded. – Brain hemorrhage of another world, commented TV 2’s Yaw Amankwah. However, Brynhildsen delivered a weak penalty kick which was easily saved by Nikita Haikin. Glimt coach Knutsen admits a weak first half. – It was a very weak Glimt edition. It was about holding a result until the break and adjusting. Fortunately, we are changing the course a little, he says to news. – What did you say during the break? – We had to agree on a direction. I’m not pointing at the players, I’m pointing at us who put the tactics into this. We’re being pulled in all directions and it’s not the players’ fault, it’s our fault. Fire under full control But almost at the same time there was full jubilation for the away fans in Skien. Brann took the lead when Eivind Helland scored, which meant that the Bergens became the new league leaders. Only a minute later, Aune Heggebø doubled and secured a two-goal lead for the away team. He would continue his good form and score 3-0 for the Bergens. SIMPLE WIN: Brann had full control away to Odd. Photo: Trond R. Teigen / NTB After the break, Glimt was supposed to wake up. The yellow jerseys equalized after high pressure against the Molde goal. It was Fredrik Bjørkan who revived the Norsemen’s golden hopes. Shortly after, the turnaround was a fact when Molde player Casper Øyvann put the ball into his own net. Molde did not give up, and they secured 3-3 after a dream goal from distance from Molde profile Emil Breivik. Brann kept the three-goal lead and won comfortably in Skien. Full crisis for Lillestrøm Lillestrøm, for their part, were to play a fateful match at Åråsen when they took on Haugesund. Both teams are in great danger of relegation, and thus Sunday’s match was of the important kind. It was quite quiet for a long time in Lillestrøm, who met a Haugesund side that had not scored since 1 September. But then Sory Diarra was to silence Åråsen when he made it 1-0 for the away team. It is a crisis scoring for LSK, who are fighting desperately to keep their place in the Eliteserien. – By all accounts, Brann and Bodø/Glimt will have something to play for when they meet LSK. It will be a nightmare for them, said Jesper Mathisen. With three rounds left, Lillestrøm must take points against either Brann or Bodø/Glimt away from home. – They are well on their way down towards the 1st division, concluded the TV 2 expert. It is also worth mentioning that former national team captain Omar Elabdellaoui made a comeback and played his first minutes since 16 July 2023.
