It wasn’t just Rosenborg that had major problems in the cup’s second round on Thursday evening. – It is the sickest cup round I have ever been part of. It’s completely wild, said a tired news expert Carl-Erik Torp. Because Stabæk and Lillestrøm are also eliminated. The latter after extra rounds against Ullensaker/Kisa. – Brutal. It is boring and heavy. It is known that the second and third rounds of the cup tend to be tricky for elite league teams. As a rule, it is squeezed into a tight match programme. We have a big advantage in terms of play and a bunch of chances we are unable to convert, and Ull/Kisa are effective. Then it was our turn this year to look at the ground with a bent neck and back and drag ourselves home, says Lillestrøm coach Geir Bakke to news. See all the results from the 2nd round in the cup at the bottom of the article. – Played rolling around After only 30 minutes, the 2nd division team Kjelsås led all the way 3–0 against Stabæk. The first goal was of the more comic kind, when Stabæk goalkeeper Marius Ulla played the ball straight to the opponent in his own box. Jens Aslaksrud then skated in the post, but then via a defender and into the net. – What a mistake! It just has to be seen, it can’t be explained, said Torp. – They are played all over Kjelsås. I have nothing against Stabæk, but I think this is fun, said Aleksander Schau in news’s cup studio. OSLO JUBILEE: Kjelsås played havoc with Stabæk on their own turf. Photo: NTB Stabæk, who are in sixth place in the elite series, only got one consolation goal after the break. – 3-0 is embarrassing, of course. The performance as a whole is too bad by everyone really, so there is no one to blame but ourselves. I’m terribly disappointed, says Fredrik Krogstad to news. – It shouldn’t be a crisis. It’s boring and of course it gets to us, but we will train well tomorrow and prepare for Lillestrøm on Sunday, says Stabæk’s assistant coach Andrea Loberto. This is how the 3rd round in the cup is played: Sotra – VålerengaAalesund – BrannBrattvåg – HaugesundSarpsborg 08 – OddStjørdals-Blink – Ull/KisaRanheim – Bodø/GlimtVard Haugesund – StrømsgodsetAlta – TromsøSogndal – MossKjelsås – JervKristiansund – MoldeFredrikstad – VikingGjøvik-Lyn – StartKFUM – ÅsaneMjøndalen – RaufossBærum – HamKam Tromsø saved by penalty shootout And the scores rolled in all over the country. Ullensaker/Kisa led 2–0 over Lillestrøm after just over half an hour. Series leader Bodø/Glimt took the lead against Junkeren, but the team from the 2nd division equalised. Tromsdalen led against Tromsø and Frigg from the 3rd division played against Sarpsborg 08. As many as six teams were in danger of relegation. – We are approaching the cup round of all time, exclaimed Schau. Bodø/Glimt saved the victory in the final minutes, while Tromsø, Lillestrøm and Sarpsborg 08 had to go into extra time. The latter prevented a fool and eventually won 5-3. But for Lillestrøm, who played in the cup final less than two weeks ago, things went worse. Ull/Kisa took the lead back, and sent the neighbors out. – There is never a good atmosphere in an ambitious environment when you don’t perform well enough, that’s how it always is, assures coach Bakke. – Incredibly delicious. We dig extremely deep and seem to just keep getting better and better. At 2-2, I felt we had control of the match, because LSK didn’t have much on the table there, says coach in Ull/Kisa, Steffen Landro to news. More even games In Tromsdalen – Tromsø, the game went to penalties, where TIL drew the longest straw. CONTINUED AFTER EXTRAS: Ull/Kisa sent Lillestrøm out of the cup. At Bislett, Vålerenga decided late and beat Lyn 2-1 in an Oslo derby with full steam in the stands. The elite series team took the lead early on, but Julius Skaug equalized just after the break. Mohamed Ofkir scored the winning goal for Vålerenga five minutes before full time. The 3rd division team Eik Tønsberg, who beat Sandefjord in the cup’s first round, also made it difficult for an elite league team. The mains would still be too strong. Jonatan Braut Brunes scored both goals for the Drammen team in the 2-1 victory.
