It was a wholehearted Godset team that beat Lillestrøm 3-0. Today we were good. We talked about it during the break that what we delivered before the break is worth nothing if we do not drive at least as well in the second half. And we did that on time, Lars-Jørgen Salvesen told Eurosport. – We knew there would be a lot of jumping today. The trainer said that I ran at least 16 kilometers. It probably wasn’t that much, but I probably set a personal record. – We bubble throughout the match, and we dominate. This is “Fort Marienlyst”, said the Godset player, who put in the third goal in a beautiful way with the very last kick on the ball. LSK coach Geir Bakke was given up afterwards. – We do not get up to speed on anything. It is such a battle that comes once in a while. We are sloppy with the simple. This was a bad match for us, Bakke told Eurosport after the match. – Do they feel the pressure as a series leader? – No. We do not talk or think gold. Gjermund Åsen is sorry that he put the team in a difficult situation with his red card, but he is not sad in the expulsion. – I get a little long touch and try to reach the ball, but I think the red is strictly doomed, he says. Flare-smoke postponing the kick-off Before the kick-off, there was drama in the air. The crowd lit up with fiery flames, and the smoke was so thick over the stadium that the kick-off had to be postponed by several minutes. And when the match started, both teams went hard. There were no goals before the break, but a lot happened anyway. Especially in the first half of the round there was pressure and temperature. Not least when Kristoffer Tokstad went down to the field and “everyone” was waiting for a penalty. Judge Tore Hansen did not want to judge, and there were strong protests when he pointed to the corner flag in the city. The protesters gave a quarter of the team a yellow card. The referee had to bring two more yellows before the break.

All three have yellow cards, maybe they are a little more shaky for that reason, Håkon Wibe-Lund told Eurosport during the break. Three goals and a red card in the second half Whether that was the reason is uncertain. But it was only seven minutes of the second half before the corner that gave Godset the lead. Herman Stengel came in from the corner, Jack Ipalibo stepped up to verse and headed the ball into the corner. Thus, LSK was closer to its first loss in this year’s series. 2-0 after 75 minutes it was goalkeeper Viljar Myhra who started. His long play still with Kristoffer Tokstad, who lost the ball, but got him back. And from the edge of the 16-meter he placed the ball via the post. Then it was time for series owner Lillestrøm. Pain also got worse when captain Gjermund Åsen was sent off eight minutes before full time. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Six minutes into overtime, Lars Jørgen Salvesen got the goal he had worked and struggled for the whole evening with the last kick of the match on the ball. From over 20 meters he knocked the ball in the crossbar, with his left foot as a proper point for a well-conducted match for the home team. Lillestrøm is currently the league leader two points ahead of Molde. But Molde had their match postponed on Sunday, and therefore have one match to their credit at LSK.
