Lillestrøm - Kongsvinger 2-1 (1-0)
Åråsen stadion
Att: 2574
1-0 Ståle Solbakken (38)
1-1 Dag Riisnæs (73)
2-1 Arnfinn Engerbakk (o.g. 86)
Yellow card: Kåre Ingebrigtsen, Lillestrøm, Christer Basma, Arnfinn 
Engerbakk, Geir Bakke, Bjørn Berg, Kongsvinger.

- LSK put themselves firmly in the seat for the second place with a slightly
  lucky win. The match was very even and could have gone either way. It was
  decided when Johnsen's shot deflected off Engerbakk and into the open goal.
  Before that Solbakken had first scored with a shot from just outside the
  area after a bad clearence, and then Riisnæs equalised on a beautiful free
  header.

Brann - Tromsø 1-1 (0-0)
Brann stadion
Att: 6454
0-1 Sigurd Rushfelt (57)
1-1 Geir Hasund (77)
Yellow card: Bjørn Ludvigsen, Jonny Hansen, Tromsø, Lars 
Bakkerud, Magnus Johansson, Geirmund Brendesæther, Brann.

- A very lacklustre affair. Brann are playing really bad at the moment, and
  TIL which should have something to play for weren't much better. The
  visitors took the lead when Rushfeldt received a long through-ball and
  scored with ease. Substitute Hasund equalised with a shoty range header off
  a corner. In the dying minutes Brann could easily had won the game, but
  missed a few sitters.

Rosenborg - VIF Fotball 7-2 (3-2)
Lerkendal stadion
Att: 7979
0-1 Patric Karlsson (1)
1-1 Kent Bergersen (10)
2-1 Erik Hoftun (16)
2-2 Knut Aga jr. (25) 
3-2 Harald Brattbakk (44) 
4-2 Roar Strand (51)
5-2 Bent Skammelsrud (60) 
6-2 Hoftun (63)
7-2 Øyvind Leonhardsen (65)
Yellow card: Morten Kihle, Jan Erlend Kruse, Knut Aga jr., VIF 
Fotball, Harald Brattbakk, Rosenborg.
Red card: Morten Kihle, VIF Fotball.

- VIF showed no respect and took a surprise lead when Karlsson scored on
  a counter in the first minute. However, RBK came back strongly and went 2-1
  in front, before VIF once more stunned the crowd with a goal. The most 
  important incidents happended just before and just after the break. One
  minute from the break Brattbakk gave the home side the psychologically 
  important lead, and a few minutes into the second half Kihle was sent off
  after his second yellow card. From then on, there was only one team on the
  field. VIF were completely outclassed, and RBK could easily have scored
  double figures. They settled for 7 though, and thereby not destroying
  VIF's good GD too much.

Start - Hamarkameratene 4-0 (2-0)
Kristiansand stadion
Att: 3246
1-0 Petter Belsvik (pen. 17)
2-0 Tore André Dahlum (20) 
3-0 Tore Løvland (71)
4-0 Erik Mykland (75)
Yellow card: Petter Belsvik, Tommy Svindal Larsen, Start.

- The home side were clearly the better side in this match between two teams
  with nothing but pride to play for. Two goals in each half settled the issue.
  The most noteworthy was a diving header(!) from Mykland, which was judged
  to be the goal of the round.

Strømsgodset - Bodø/Glimt 0-2 (0-1)
Marienlyst stadion
Att: 2206
0-1 Ørjan Berg (17)
0-2 Runar Berg (57)
Yellow card: Krister Isaksen, Thomas Røed, Strømsgodset, Charles 
Berstad, Andreas Evjen, Bodø/Glimt.

- B/G, although tired after their CWC game on Thursday, lifted themselves
  out of the bottom three with this win, and at the same time probably
  sent SIF down. The main difference between the sides was that SIF didn't
  took their chances, whereas B/G did. Especially the three Berg-brothers
  were in good form. They all look more and more like their father, Harald
  'Dutte' Berg.

Viking - Sogndal 3-1 (2-1)
Stavanger stadion
Att: 6812
0-1 Bjørn Heidenstrøm (6)
1-1 Gøran Sørloth (21)
2-1 Sørloth (45)
3-1 Gunnar Aase (90)
Yellow card: Asle Hillestad, Jarle Flo, Jan Halvor Halvorsen, 
Sogndal.

- Sogndal took a surprise lead when Heidenstrøm headed in Flo's cross.
  However, Viking came back, and Sørloth scored both his first and second goal
  for the club after his return form Turkey and Bursaspor. Despite some Sogndal
  pressure in the second half, Viking went two goals in front in the last 
  minute when Aase was sent clean through with only the goalkeeper to beat.
  The situation looks bad for the visitors, especially since two of their
  three remaining matches are away from home, and also because of their bad
  goal difference. In contrast, both VIF and B/G have two home games left and
  also a much superior GD. Viking are now third, and undefeated since the WC.
  Silverware is in prospect for the team from Stavanger.
