Unknown Gard (25) is compared to Beckham after his dream goal – NRK Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

Levanger shocked Viking and took the lead already after 40 seconds in the fourth round of the cup. Viking equalized at 1–1 through Peter Christiansen, before Sanel Bojadzic sent Levanger into the lead from the penalty spot early in the second half.

Viking and Sondre Auklend thought they had equalized in the 73rd minute of the match, but the score was immediately canceled for handball on Auklend.

The Viking player despaired and when the replays started, it was clear why.

The ball went into the hands of Levanger defender Håvard Lorentzen, not Auklend.

– Complete scandal. I understand that it is difficult to see, said NRK’s ​​football expert Carl-Erik Torp.

– Scandal! Scandal, shouted fellow expert Jonas Grønner in NRK’s ​​cup studio.

– They (Levanger) are extremely lucky. When this happens, it is a huge mistake and a huge mistake. Yes, we understand that it is difficult, but it is potentially game-deciding, continued Grønner.

– I was deprived of a goal

Auklend himself understood little when it was called off.

– At first I thought he blew for Zlatko (Tripic) to pick up, so I didn’t quite understand. Then I found out that Zlatko did not touch and I knew that it did not touch my hand, so I was very surprised at that decision, says Auklend to NRK.

– I was deprived of a goal there, he asserts.

Viking coach Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim cannot bear to go into the situation.

– There are many situations I could talk about with regard to the referee, but I have to concentrate on what I am responsible for. Then they get to take the other piece. I can’t bear to go into it, he says to NRK.

Viking collapsed in extra time

Three minutes later, Simen Kvia-Egeskog equalized for Viking and thus took the match to extra time.

But there Viking took a beating and collapsed completely.

First, the aforementioned Lorentsen barged in 3–2. Then Ådne Bruseth added to make it 4–2 to the 1st division team Levanger, who were responsible for their second cup bomb of the year. In the previous round, they knocked out Brann.

– Fantastic. I don’t know what’s going on with this team, but it’s just insane. Last year’s season and now, beating Brann and Viking… We’re running the hell out of nowhere. It’s a fantastic team and loyalty. I do not know what to say. I am at a loss for words, says Levanger’s Ermal Hajdari.

Only minutes before the end, Djibril Diop was sent off for Viking when Bruseth was again alone through. The stopper ripped and stepped on the striker as the back man, preventing an obvious scoring chance. As a result, he had to fumble early in the dressing room.

After the match, Gianni Stensness was also sent off by the referee after getting into an altercation with the Levanger players after the match.

Unknown Gard (25) is compared to Beckham

Viking was not the only elite series team that was kicked out of the cup this round. HamKam did it nicely though.

Four minutes into overtime, Gard Simenstad saved extra innings for HamKam against Vålerenga. Simenstad lined up slightly out to the left, and quite far from the goal.

Even Vålerenga did not expect one shot, they only sent one man into the wall. Then the wingback from Gjøvik seized the opportunity to shock both the audience and the experts.

Simenstad tapped and stuck the ball in the nearest cross.

– It’s David Beckham against Greece for England! It is just as important, shouted Tete Lidbom in NRK’s ​​studio.

– He shovels the ball in from a team where you shouldn’t score on a direct free kick. We’ve all seen the Beckham documentary, we’ve seen the man with the most beautiful free-kick foot, but this is Gard! continued Lidbom, and others joined in.

– Give the man his own documentary! How does he practice free kicks, how does he do this here? exclaimed NRK’s ​​football expert Carl-Erik Torp.

Vålerenga continue after penalty drama

Even at home in the living room, experts were shocked by the wild free kick.

– What an adventurous free kick. David Beckham level in both technique and execution, says TV 2’s football expert Jesper Mathiesen.

Vålerenga took an early lead through Elias Hagen, before Magnus Riisnæs made it 2-0 before 25 minutes had passed. The Klanen could thus see the quarter-finals on the horizon, but then Vålerenga collapsed in the second half.

First, Aaron Kiil Olsen scored a clumsy own goal, before the aforementioned Simenstad knocked in the equaliser.

Then the match went to penalties. The teams each missed their penalty to open with. Stoppers Luc Mares and Martin Kreuzriegler each hit the post.

Then it was Simenstad’s turn, and he sent HamKam into an early lead. Ola Kamara was just as sure for Vålerenga soon after, and the teams were the same distance.

17-year-old Julian Gonstad feared the worst when he missed HamKam soon after, but then Kiil Olsen also messed it up via the crossbar and out.

In the end, John Olav Norheim was the scapegoat for the sixth penalty. Vålerenga progressed after Fidel Brice Ambina put the ball in the goal.

Lysekloster shocked the YMCA

Other elite series teams also got into trouble. Only four minutes before the end, things started to boil in Lysekloster. Ole Marius Habestad appeared in the box on a counterattack, and easily put the ball in the goal. Thus, the small second division team took the lead against the Eliteserie team YMCA.

Lysekloster has not had a great season so far in the second division. They are currently in seventh place. At the same time, YMCA has been one of the surprise teams in this year’s elite series. They are in the same position – seventh place – at the top level.

Four minutes into overtime, however, YMCA was saved when substitute Petter Nosa Dahl knocked in an equalizer and sent the teams to extra time.

With only five minutes left in the last extra round, Simen Hestnes ensured that Kåffa made it to the quarter-finals of the cup.
