She celebrated the score by grabbing the Vålerenga logo and holding it up, while staring out at the sideline. – Thank you for the last time to your old teammates, said TV 2’s commentator Endre Olav Osnes. – Mimmi Löfwenius scores against LSK, and everything but a subdued celebration, wrote football commentator Kasper Wikestad on X (formerly Twitter). Vålerenga looked for a very long time to take an important 2-1 victory, but four minutes into overtime Thea Kyvåg equalized with an exquisite shot from the outside. The scoring came after a long free kick into the box, caused by Löfwenius. See all the scores from the dramatic match here: The match between Vålerenga and Lillestrøm women ended in a draw. Video: Photo: Lise Åserud/NTB Over 100 games for LSK and Lyn Mimmi Löfwenius has been a key player for both LSK Kvinner and Lyn since she first came to Norway in 2014. The Swedish attacking player has scored against Vålerenga for both of the two aforementioned teams, but this summer she signed a contract with Vålerenga. It was only a few weeks after she scored one of LSK’s two goals in the 2-0 win against Vålerenga on June 30, Vålerenga’s only loss in the Toppserien this season. In connection with LSK’s victory, she also posed with a T-shirt with the inscription “Hater Enga”. But then she signed for Vålerenga, a transfer which VIF profile Olaug Tvedten referred to TV 2 as “the biggest plot twist in the Toppserien”. – A “no-brainer”, said Löfwenius himself after the transfer.

After Olaug Tvedten sent Vålerenga into the lead after barely a quarter of an hour, it was Löfwenius who came into focus ten minutes before the break. The 29-year-old went on a perfectly timed run in the back room and, although she needed two chances against LSK goalkeeper Cecilie Fiskerstrand, she got the ball into the goal. Lillestrøm reduced it with Emma Stølen Godø after a corner kick early in the second half, and the game waved back and forth for the rest of the half.

Rosenborg tops the table after 20 out of 27 rounds, one point ahead of Vålerenga and six points ahead of LSK Kvinner. The gold medal match can quickly live right into the last round. Then Vålerenga will travel to Trondheim to face Rosenborg.
