Two very similar situations ended with two different outcomes in the third round of the Eliteserien. First, Haugesund’s Kevin Krygård raised his foot high and ended up kicking Stabæk’s Sturla Ottesen in the head. The referee showed the yellow card to Krygård, but after a VAR check he was shown straight off the field. A few minutes later, Sandefjord player Filip Ottosson stamped the knobs on Markus Henriksen’s face. Ottosson also received a yellow for the ugly involvement against the Rosenborg player, but here the color was never changed by VAR. TV 2’s football expert Jesper Mathisen, who sat in the studio during FotballXtra, believed that the situations were almost identical, and did not understand why they were treated differently. – It is completely unreal. That is what is completely unreal. It is one thing that there are difficult regulations on some types of things. At least we must judge the same in the same situations. That’s what goes so wrong. Here there are actually two identical situations. Markus Henriksen suffers a head injury after having a football boot planted in his nose. BLOODY: Markus Henriksen started bleeding from the head after the kick. Photo: Jan Kåre Ness / NTB – Crazy kick All the experts reacted with astonishment, despair and cursing that the two kicks were treated differently by the refereeing teams. Yaw Ihle Amankwah described the kick against Henriksen as “Karate Kid”. – It’s a crazy kick, with the knobs first, right in the skull, he said. Henriksen started bleeding profusely after the incident, and came running onto the field a few minutes later with his head completely bandaged. THE CHIEF: Henriksen in conversation with RBK’s coach, Kjetil Rekdal. Photo: Svein Ove Ekornesvåg / NTB – Let the judges judge. It is the judges who decide it, said a diplomatic RBK coach Kjetil Rekdal to TV 2 during the break. Stabæks Ottesen had no doubt that the judges eventually ended up on the right suit in the end at Nadderud. – Yes, of course. I get a kick in the head, then it’s red, he said. Before Henriksen was kicked in the face, Sandefjord had already taken the lead through Fréderic Bikoro. Trønder fought to fight back, and almost four minutes into overtime, Carlo Holse equalized to 1-1 and secured a point sharing at Lerkendal. Stabæk eventually found it easy against the ten-man strong Haugesund. The opening goal came before Curtis Edwards’ red card. Kasper Høgh doubled the lead midway through the second half, before Kasper Pedersen punctuated the game to 3-0 towards the end of the half. The Glimt party continued JUBILEE: Faris Pemi scored Glimt’s 2-0 goal. Photo: Svein Ove Ekornesvåg / NTB Glimpses of a perfect series start continued with a crushing victory over AaFK in Ålesund. The Northerners have adopted an advantageous habit of puncturing the games at the start of the games. In all three games, Kjetil Knutsen’s men have scored within the first five minutes, and so they continued against the Sunnmørings. Glimt eventually won 3-0 and tops the Eliteserien after three rounds. Albert Grønbæk, Faris Pemi and Amahl Pellegrino scored the goals for the visitors. AaFK, on the other hand, has scored zero goals and taken zero points in the Eliteserien so far.
