The away team dominated large parts of the match against Lillestrøm in Åråsen and ran away with the victory in overtime after substitute Etzaz Hussain scored. Eikrem crying For Molde captain Magnus Wolff Eikrem has been tough lately. On 16 September, cohabitant Berit Ingeborgvik Talseth died after a long illness with cancer. After the match, Eikrem was asked how he ranks this year’s league gold. – The last is always the best. What has happened this year is somehow so special. Yes … I’m so happy, and now we’re going to celebrate. We should only have positive thoughts today, Eikrem told Discovery and struggled to hold back tears.

Then we will meet RBK, and I am looking forward to them standing on guard on Sunday, Eikrem continued. Erling Moe used the opportunity to pay tribute to his captain after the match. – We have been through tough periods and the players have stood together. Magnus this year … I don’t understand how he has managed it, the Molde coach told Discovery. – He means a lot. You see how important he is, and I am lucky enough to experience how important he is off the field. He has been through a lot, so what he has done is incredibly impressive, Moe continued. – It’s so stupid, the Molde captain had a great opportunity from 12 meters after just over an hour played, but the finish went wide of the post. Molde’s star player Datro Fofana also got a giant chance. Birk Risa served with a great cross on the forehead of the Ivorian, but Fofana hit the center of Lillestrøm goalkeeper Mads Hedenstad Christiansen. Just before the end, Thomas Lehne Olsen was about to spoil Molde’s gold party. The striker met a cross at the near post, but the finish was saved by Molde goalkeeper Jacob Karlstrøm. In overtime, LSK striker Akor called for his hands, but he was not heard by the refereeing team. Instead, Molde countered. Datro Fofana played Hussain through who could roll in 1-0 alone with the goalkeeper. – It is so stupid of us. The only thing that should happen is that the ball is swung in, but we play short and lose the ball. We shouldn’t make mistakes like that if we’re going to fight at the top, says LSK goalkeeper Mads Hedenstad Christiansen to news. For Molde, they were able to unleash their golden jubilation at Åråsen after the end of the match. They have now been crowned league champions in 2022, 2019, 2014, 2012 and 2011.
