18 August 2024 at 21:10 Rosenborg beat Viking: Moved out of the relegation battle Rosenborg secured three very important points after beating the top team Viking 2-1 on their own turf. After a half-played match at Lerkendal, it was 2-0 to the home team. The opening goal came when Ulrik Yttergård Jenssen dived forward and headed in a rebound in the 26th minute. Nine minutes later it was Adrian Pereira’s turn. The 24-year-old fought in the Viking box, and played with his old club when he scored the game’s second goal. – We have to bet that we have time to turn it around, said Vikings coach Bjarne Berntsen to TV 2 during the break. And with three substitutions from the break, the Stavanger team hoped to create something in front of Rosenborg’s goal. The big chances were delayed, but in the 79th minute it was for the dark blues. Sander Svendsen turned up at 18 meters and knocked the ball into the far corner for Viking. The match still ended 2-1, and Rosenborg took a big step up from the relegation dump. Trønder are now in eighth place, six points short of the qualifying spot. Viking, who were chasing points in the gold match, fell to third place after Sunday’s loss at Lerkendal.
