– It hurts. I’m going home now and get laid in a dark room, says Bakenga about the incident that happened with about ten minutes left in the match between Stabæk and Tromsø on Saturday. The striker chased a long ball in the back room and jumped up with his back towards the goal in an attempt to reach the ball with his head. From the opposite direction came Tromsø goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard, who headed the ball away. At the same time, the TV footage clearly showed that the goalkeeper’s hand hit Bakenga, who immediately went down for the count. – I saw the ball and then it said bang and then I lay down, says Bakenga, who in the end had to see that Tromsø won 1-0 at Nadderud on Saturday. See the situation here: Meiner Bakenga tried to create a penalty. That Bakenga was lying down after the collision was not well received by Tromsø captain Ruben Yttergård Jenssen. The Tromsø player initially thought that Bakenga tried to create a penalty “out of nowhere” when he went down in a duel with Kent-Are Antonsen a few minutes before. Then came the collision with Haugaard. – It is even more special. Then it is Jakob who is up in a main duel and he crushes “Mush”. It almost hurts to see him lying there afterwards. He doesn’t need that, says Yttergård Jenssen. – Ruben Yttergård Jenssen says that you lie there playing shoe games. Do you agree with that, Bakenga? – He can keep his mouth shut. – What are you thinking about then? – He can keep his mouth shut. He knows, says Bakenga. CAPTAIN: Ruben Yttergård Jenssen thinks Bakenga tried to create a penalty “out of nowhere”. After the match, the captain celebrated with the supporters.

Then you should sort of (do) everything smiling and with a twinkle in your eye. They get to enjoy themselves and rather shut up and focus on themselves, says Bakenga. CALLED FOR PENALTY: Mushaga Bakenga believes he was cheated for a penalty in this situation. Photo: Frederik Ringnes / NTB Medan Bakengas Stabæk is in 15th place and fighting to keep the place, Tromsø is in the gold race, only three points behind league leader Viking with one game more played than Siddisane. – He now lies and purrs and rolls all the time, too. I have actual situations where there are penalties. If I seriously threw up for 20 minutes because I made myself … I don’t know what’s going on in the back of my mind (hand to Haugaard). So that’s why he can keep his mouth shut, says Bakenga. – What are you going to do now? – Hopefully I have to get into a cold room and close my eyes a bit. Because I’m dizzy like just a beating. Having played in Tromsø in the past, Bakenga himself has helped win the Eliteserien with Rosenborg four times. The forward also played 41 games in the Eliteserien for Tromsø from 2017 to 2019, but with limited success. After the team left Nadderud, news was in contact with Yttergård Jenssen and presented him with Bakenga’s quote. – My comment on that is that I think “Mush” is a nice man and a good player. I think Stabæk looks exciting and wish them luck at the end of the season, he wrote in a message to news. PS! Judge Christian Moen explains to TV 2 why they did not sentence Bakenga in the situation with Antonsen as follows: – We see that he has one hand on him. Then we consider that she is soft. It is not a clear position. It’s a small holding, but we don’t think it’s enough for punishment.
