Even before the match started, things were boiling in Åråsen. Smoke from flares in the stands drifted across the field, delaying the start of the match by just five minutes. And it only took nine minutes before the Lillestrøm fans fired up once again. After a well-placed free kick, and a bit of fumbling in the box, Thomas Lehne Olsen was able to send the home team into the lead against Rosenborg. But again the pitch was filled with flare smoke, which caused a slight pause in the game. The referee barely got the game started, because minutes later flares were lit – again – and the smoke filled the pitch – again. KOK: Early in the match, the stands looked like this.

FIRE: This is what it looked like at Åråsen at the start of the match. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB The first quarter was particularly ineffective in the game at Åråsen. It was announced at the stadium that the match could be stopped if the firing of flares did not end. – But now they must soon have used up what they have of fireworks, said TV 2’s football expert Simen Stamsø Møller Scored against LSK dad It could seem that the audience listened to the warning for a while, but another score – more flare. Because just before the break, Noah Holm equalized against dad and coach David Nielsen and his Lillestrøm team. Holm was served by Adrian Pereira and celebrated in front of Lillestrøm’s supporters. Then flares were lit again outside the pitch, but without as much smoke. Thus it seemed that it came with the warning. SCORET: Noah Holm equalized for Rosenborg.

Edvard Tagseth came close to putting the visitors in the lead after 55 minutes, but the ball rolled a few centimeters off the post. Close to full time on the clock when Moustafa Zeidan was also about to score 2–1. Ole Selnæs tried a cross into the box, Zeidan headed towards the goal, but LSK goalkeeper Stefan Hagerup held out with a strong save. Fish cakes, tennis balls and flares The matches between the canary yellow and black and white from Trondheim have perhaps been the most chaotic and bizarre this season. Sunday’s match will be the third meeting of the season. 21 July: The first match in July was marked by a somewhat unusual VAR protest. Supporters in the stands threw fish cakes, flares and tennis balls onto the pitch. This led to referee Rohit Saggi having had enough, and stopped the match when 30 minutes had been played on the clock. 21 August: A month later, another attempt was made to implement. This time for empty stands, but it would prove to be challenging nonetheless. Despite the spectator restrictions, a group of RBK supporters met outside the stadium with drums, flares and singing. The flare smoke blew into the stadium and the match was paused. This time it was started again and completed, and the Trønders won 4–0. Father-son duel There are also several reasons why Sunday’s showdown had a little extra heat. It was also a family match between father and son: Lillestrøm coach David Nielsen and Rosenborg player Noah Holm. Holm passed a harsh judgment on his father before the match: CLEAR VERDICT: Noah Holm Photo: Harald Thingnes / news – What do you think of the job he does in Lillestrøm? – Until now, not good enough. – And after Sunday, then? – Not good enough either. But father and LSK coach Nielsen was used to internal messages between the two. – There is often competition in the family, so there will be another one here, said Nielsen to news.
