SANDEFJORD-MOLDE 3–1
Sandefjord shocked Molde and turned around to win on their own home ground. Fredrik Gulbrandsen sent the visitors into the lead ten minutes before the break.
The home team dominated at times before the break without scoring. Molde captain Magnus Wolff Eikrem made it clear whether the team had shown.
– It is far away. We are really bad. We have to toughen up, Eikrem told TV 2 in the break interview.
Eikrem thought the team was able to hold onto the ball or have long enough attacks.
– Then it will be difficult no matter who we meet. We look like an Obosliga team in this first round. But we lead. We have many things to improve on.
– We play a lot of matches, so it gets a bit tough from time to time, he answers as to the reason why it is like this.
But after the break, Sandefjord completely took over.
Simon Amin equalized after 65 minutes before Stian Kristiansen turned the game around and ensured a home win just over ten minutes before the end.
The former Glimt player thus became the match winner against his old club’s golden rival. Molde is now three points behind Glimt at the top of the table.
– This is dramatic for Molde, says Simen Stamsø Møller on TV 2’s FotballXtra after Molde conceded important points in the gold medal game against what is a bottom team.
Punctured in overtime Aleksander Damnjanovic Nilsson the game with Sandefjord’s third score.
