The 3-2 goal for Vålerenga’s Muamer Brajanac in the 62nd minute came when Lyns’ Julius Skaug sat on the sidelines and received treatment after a tough knock he received in a duel with VIF’s Brice Ambina just before. With blood pouring down his face, he watched his team-mates, who were only 10 men, concede the goal which made Vålerenga take the lead and eventually win the match. Judge Kristoffer Hagenes chose to give Ambina the yellow card. – I don’t think it’s a red card. It is very unfortunate for Lyn, but I prefer a yellow, said TV 2’s Simen Stamsø Møller about the situation that led to VIF having to play against one less in the minutes when they secured the 3-2 goal. Should Ambina have been expelled? The three-pointer, which was the Oslo club’s seventh straight league win, means that Vålerenga continues its march towards a return to the Eliteserien at the first attempt since relegation last year. After 20 games, with ten games left to play, the dark blues have 45 points, ten more than Bryne and Moss in 2nd and 3rd place. Saturday’s match against Lyn also offered a folk festival that is rare in the Norwegian 1st division. The match gathered around 16,556 spectators and offered a brilliant setting in the autumn rain in the capital. The first goal of the match came after just two minutes, and in a way Lyn took the lead. A long play from Lyn goalkeeper Alexander Pedersen ended up with Vålerenga captain Christian Borchgrevink, who sent a back-play past goalkeeper Magnus Sjøeng and into the goal. – It completely misses, TV 2 expert Simen Stamsø Møller stated after the goal. – Jewel of a score But the hosts were to fight back. After just over 20 minutes, Cameroonian Brice Ambina received the ball outside the penalty area, turned away a Lyn player and knocked the ball into the right corner with a fantastic finish that was worthy of the frame in the stands. Thus it was 1-1. – A jewel of a score, he just plays it up in the cross, much to the dismay of the 3,500 who have come from the west end. Here it’s just polite clapping from everyone who likes football, this was well done, was the verdict from news expert Bengt Eriksen. Two minutes later, the home team had turned the game around. The Danish 25-year-old Carl Lange, who came to Vålerenga this summer from Vendsyssel FF, surged forward on the right and hammered home 2-1 with a hard finish to the bottom right of the goalkeeper. Two minutes, two beautiful scores and 2-1 to the home team. But Lyn refused to give up. Shortly afterwards, Mathias Johansen equalized with a neat finish into the roof of the net after Magnus Sjøeng had saved seconds earlier with a brilliant save on the attempt from Daniel Schneider. Thus it was 2-2 and the teams were the same distance. TOUGH TREATMENT: Julius Skaug looked like this after a duel in the Oslo derby.

When Lyn’s Julius Skaug received treatment after a tough duel with Brice Ambina, which caused blood to run down his head, Vålerenga took the opportunity while it was 11 against 10 on the field. Muamer Brajanac finally poked the ball over the goal after a bit of fumbling in the field, and thus it was 3-2. When the super-talented Jones El-Abdellaoui screwed the ball into the cross ten minutes before the end and VIF went up to 4-2, the game was decided. Thus, Vålerenga has a foot and a half in the Eliteserien when two thirds of the series have been played. Published 24/08/2024, at 19.51
