Children injured by flares at Lerkendal – several spectators reported – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

– It is just a coincidence that this ten-year-old is not hit in the eye. The flare is hot. It’s no fun. We have to do something, we can’t just stand by and watch this happen. We have to react, says police task leader Håkon Jørgensen to news. Both before and during the match, both home and away supporters used flares at Lerkendal. The police now confirm to news that a ten-year-old is injured in the ear and on the arm. He was not sent to hospital. – What is unfortunate is when a lot of pyro is used, because then it is easy for injuries to occur. We got an example of that again today where there are several people who have been injured, both to the body and clothing, says the task leader. There were a lot of flares in the stands, and there was occasionally a lot of smoke close to the pitch. – Flares are a well-known problem that has been going on for several years. As long as the union does not have any clear guidelines on that, it is difficult for the police to do so much. But we open cases when there is damage from it. It happened this afternoon, so we have opened cases against the aggrieved persons who are exposed to this flare-up, he says. CRITICAL: Operations leader in the police in Trøndelag, Håkon Jørgensen.

Jørgensen reacts strongly to the fact that such an incident can happen on what he refers to as a family day. – They have such a family day, everything was good in the cityscape, then it is very boring that what happens inside the stadium should happen. Jørgensen points out that the police in Trondheim have repeatedly warned against flares. – It is dangerous. At least I don’t have time to go through that now, we’ve been talking about that for many years. One day things go badly, it is unfortunate for the person who is exposed to it. Then the club is responsible for that. It’s a must see for everyone. Pyro has created several challenges in the Eliteserien this season, including a postponed match at Lerkendal. This time it ended in bodily harm. – According to the police, we have had some unfortunate situations in Lerkendal. We work to identify and sanction according to our stadium and sanction regulations, writes general manager of Rosenborg Tore Bjørseth Berdal to news.

It should always be safe to be a spectator at Lerkendal, writes the RBK top. Nils Fisketjønn in the NFF says he did not catch the incident and has no comment at this time. The police report on X that there have been several incidents in connection with the match at Lerkendal. – In connection with the fight at Lerkendal tonight, there have been several unfortunate incidents which will have reactions from the police. Several people have been hit by flares, and two cases of lane storming have been reported, they write. FLASH: A ten-year-old was hit by a flare and suffered injuries to his ear and arm.

The 25-year-old hadn’t even been to Rosenes by before he scored for his old team after barely five minutes of play at Lerkendal. COMEBACK: Brynhildsen had a dream start in the comeback for Molde. He was sold to Midtjylland approximately one year ago for around NOK 35 million.

RBK, who have won three straight in the Eliteserien, wanted to give the home fans something to cheer about and chased the equaliser. The hosts had several great chances and a goal was in the air for the rest of the half, but it was 1-0 at the break. At the start of the second half, Adrian Pereira equalized for Rosenborg after a corner kick, and the Trønders continued to control the game at the start of the second half. Reitan-Sunde was once again close to getting on the scoresheet. In the end it was Edvard Tagseth who was to be decisive when he scored the 2-1 goal for Rosenborg in overtime. With that, they grabbed all three points in the grudge match. Published 01.09.2024, at 20.55 Updated 01.09.2024, at 21.04
