Seedy Jatta (20) scored, earned a penalty and was a strong contributor to Vålerenga getting a long-awaited three points. At the same time, Rosenborg and Rekdal suffered another painful loss at home. – For Rosenborg to lose to their rivals, first against Brann and then against Vålerenga… It goes without saying that it is a crisis and completely unacceptable for a club like Rosenborg, says news’s football expert Carl-Erik Torp. PERFORMER: Seedy Jatta scored in the second game in a row. Photo: Stian Lysberg Solum / NTB – It’s crazy to see a Rosenborg team looking so hopeless at home. I don’t think I’ve seen that before. Torp is not the only one in the expert corps who believes the performance is unacceptable. “Totally harmless” – This result is a crisis for Kjetil Rekdal. Also considering that they have not created a chance apart from scoring, says TV 2 expert Jesper Mathisen, who thought Rosenborg were “totally harmless”. The home team struggled to get chances for most of the match. – We are very far away. We have been that way for a while this year. We can’t make it happen. We can’t do the simple things, says a clearly affected Rekdal to TV 2 after the match. – Now it is leaden to stand and talk about it. I am at a loss for words. DISAPPOINTMENT: The Roseborg players were way down after the loss. Photo: Ole Martin Wold / NTB He is clear that he must go within himself to find out the problems. – Everything is in shambles. It’s on me. I have to try to solve that. We have to sit down and find out if we are on the right track. That is where we stand. It’s brutal. This week things have gone downhill, says Rekdal to TV 2. After six games played this season, Rosenborg has a single win. It came in the opening game against Viking. After that there have been three draws in a row followed by two losses. The last two against Brann and Vålerenga. – Something has to happen quickly. Otherwise, I can’t understand anything other than that drastic measures must be taken, says Torp. – The introduction has now been far from the level a Rosenborg team should be. From poor chance to fire and flames Even with two injury replacements before the break, Dag-Eilev Fagermo and Vålerenga at Lerkendal did not limp. But the first 45 minutes were far from a bonanza of chances. The match wavered back and forth for a long time, before the visitors broke through. Vålerenga came four on four into Rosenborg’s box, and on a cross against the first post Mohamed Ofkir was first and sent Vålerenga into the lead just before the break.

Barely three minutes after the teams had taken the field, Morten Bjørlo sent the ball into the left corner and equalized for the hosts. But they barely had time to finish celebrating, before Jatta headed the visitors back into the lead at Lerkendal. Before he was replaced, he also managed to get a penalty kick for Vålerenga. It put Henrik Bjørdal in behind André Hansen and made it 3–1 to the visitors from Oslo.
