2–2 and four scores were the result after the quarter played in Sandefjord. It was supposed to be a taste of what eventually became a real goal celebration between Sandefjord and Rosenborg. Despite a flying start for the hosts, it was a Danish hat trick hero who was to steal the headlines. Casper Tengstedt, who became a Rosenborg player just over two weeks ago, scored three and was involved in four goals for the Trønders. – It’s insane, I didn’t expect that, the Dane told Discovery after the match. – It has been a fantastic performance from Tengstedt. A new top performance from the striker, Discovery commentator Petter Bø Tosterud said of the 22-year-old who was brought in from Danish Horsens and scored in his debut match against HamKam last round. The visitors eventually won 5–2 after Bryan Fiabema punctured the match in extra time. Thus, Rosenborg took their fourth straight victory in the Eliteserien. – We score on our chances in the second half and win deservedly, says Tengstedt further.

That with the good help of Rosenborg’s last chance André Hansen. The veteran goalkeeper was only supposed to box Ofkir’s post when he steered the ball into his own net. It was to be the start of a wild quarter. Ole Sæther knocked in the equalizer from the penalty spot for Rosenborg five minutes later. Soon after, Danish new signing Tengstedt scored the lead goal for the Trønders. Adrian Pereira found Tengsedt completely unmarked inside the 16-metre area, and the Dane could easily add to make it 2-1. But Sandefjord did not let himself be shaken by that reason. Alexander Ruud Tveter equalized for the hosts and 2-2 was the result when the quarter had been played. – What a start, exclaimed commentator Tosterud. There was a despairing Kjetil Rekdal during the break. – The defensive has not been good for any of the teams, said the Rosenborg coach to Discovery during the break. BLOW BACK: Sandefjord. Photo: Annika Byrde / NTB Punctured the game In the second half, it was mostly about one team and one player. Tengstedt was ice cold when he lobbed the ball into the goal for the 3-2 score and at least as calm when he completed the hat trick. The Dane rounded Sandefjord’s goalkeeper Hugo Keto easily and punctuated the match when he scored 4–2. Substitute Fiebema embellished the result in overtime. Just before the end, Jesper Taaje was also sent off for Sandefjord. Rosenborg now has eight points up on league leader Molde.
