The special situation happened after about an hour played at Aspmyra. With the score 1–0, Glimt’s midfield jewel, Albert Grønbæk, won the ball high in the pitch. He found Pellegrino in the box, and easily rolled in 2–0 and the season’s 23rd score in the Eliteserien. He celebrated by booing the visiting Lillestrøm supporters. It was not to go unnoticed. Because soon after, a full soda bottle, with the cap on, landed right at Pellegrino’s feet. Pellegrino immediately picked up the bottle and pretended to throw it back. But instead he dropped it behind his back, and sent a sullen glance in the direction of the away supporters. Mostly it was supposed to be about Glimt and their pursuit of the elite series gold at Aspmyra. Already after six minutes, the ball was in the goal behind Lillestrøm goalkeeper Mads Hedenstad. Lillestrøm goalkeeper Mads Hedenstad had to see the first of three late goals hit the net after just six minutes at Aspmyra. Photo: Andreas Nilsen Trygstad / news – We get a bit of a shock at the beginning, things go fast in the corners with Bodø/Glimt, said Lillestrøm coach Eirik Bakke to TV 2. A shot from Patrick Berg hit centre-back Brede Moe and went into the goal . The centre-back’s first goal this season was of the lucky kind. But after Pellegrino made it 2-0, there was going to be tension in the match again. Lillestrøm’s Martin Ove Roseth scored 1-2 from a corner, and again it was open who would run away with the points. That uncertainty was hammered away by Glimt’s Brice Wembangomo with a real smash of a score. The right-back went in with a long shot from distance, and at the cross it was “as always” free. – It was fun, because the guys on the team had talked about that I should shoot a little more, Wembangomo told TV 2 after the match, while Pellegrino patted his teammate hard on the back. When asked about the soda bottle that was thrown at Pellegrino, Wembangomo replied – It says more about them than him. He managed to keep a cool head, so that’s good, the defender told TV 2. His first goal in the Eliteserien this season was one of his most beautiful. There were no more scores, and thus Glimt has nine points behind Brann and Viking. PS: At 21:00 Tromsø and Molde meet for a big game in the north. With a victory for “Gutan”, the distance can be cut down to seven points.
