Vålerenga beat Røa and are ready for the semi-finals of the cup. Much of the credit must go to Karina Sævik. She won a close duel inside the field and put a cross from Mimmi Löfwenius into the goal for a 2-0 lead when the game clock had barely passed 76 minutes. But even before the ball crossed the goal line, Sævik had turned and grabbed his head. Because on the ground lay little sister Hildegunn writhing in pain. After Karina Sævik hit the ball, she also hit the Røa goalkeeper’s ankle. See the situation in the video at the top of the story. While Hildegunn was helped off the pitch, a clearly affected Karina wiped away tears and was comforted by her teammates in Vålerenga. After the match, Vålerenga coach Nils Lexerød tells news that Karina Sævik is so emotionally affected by the incident that she does not want to be interviewed. – She does not want to say anything now, and we respect that, he says. HOPE FOR DINNER: Hildegunn Sævik hopes sister Karina will repair the damage by cooking dinner.

Whether it’s a goal – I haven’t looked at it afterwards – but the referee could have watched the duel, not just the ball, she says. Hildegunn Sævik confirms that it still hurts, and is excited to see how it will develop. – How will it be coming home, you are roommates? – I think it’s going well. She must have a bad conscience, so maybe I’ll be served dinner. I don’t know, she says to news. HAD TO BE SUPPORTED: Hildegunn Sævik was in pain when she left Vålerenga’s home ground. Photo: Christian Ziegler Remme / news – Boring This is how VIF coach Lexerød experienced the situation: – I see that there is a duel between Karina and Hildegunn in front of the goal. Karina wins it and scores, and then she is unlucky and ends up in a duel with Hildegunn at the same time. Exactly what is happening is difficult to say from where I stand. That’s what happens in football. It’s nothing bad and the referee approves the scoring, so it’s an accident, says the coach. He says that Sævik is happy about the victory. – And then she thinks it’s a bit boring that the situation with her sister arises, he says. – A wonderful semi-final Vålerenga’s first goal was also scored by Michaela Kovacs just a couple of minutes before Sævik determined the final result. Nils Lexerød is very satisfied with the match. – Delicious. And I think it’s deserved. I think svi makes a solid match. We let Røa do very little and eventually get the score in the second half, he says. Also in the semi-final, it will be a purely Oslo match, then against Lyn. – It will be a wonderful semi-final. There are always tough matches against Lyn. We just have to look forward to when we get there. Ellevill goal celebration Stabæk and Rosenborg also met in the quarter-finals of the cup on Wednesday evening. Stabæk took the lead after 37 minutes, when Thea Loennecken took advantage of an ugly miss in the field by Rosenborg goalkeeper Rugile Rulyte. When 90 minutes had been played, the score was the same. But three minutes into overtime, Sara Hørte scored the equalizer for an – up until then – RBK team that had missed chances. It would turn out to be the start of a goal orgy. Five minutes into the first extra period, Emilie Nautnes sent Rosenborg up 2–1. Before the teams switched sides, Cesilie Andreassen added to make it 3–1 from the penalty spot, after Nautnes was fouled. But Stabæk did not give up. Only a minute into the second extra period, Iris Omarsdottir reduced the score to 3–2. Then – after 119 minutes of play in the match – Anja Rasmussen equalized at 3-3. However, Rosenborg was not done scoring in overtime, and after 120+2 minutes Camilla Linberg sent the Trønders to the semi-finals.
