Match report
------------
- Stabæk won their first major trophy in Norwegian football, and also
  prevented Rosenborg from taking the double, after a very disciplined
  performance. The league champions had the better of both the play and
  the chances, but were unusually sloppy in the last third of the field.
  Also, Stabæk goalkeeper Olsen played a blinder and saved his
  side on several occations. His opposite number, Jamtfall, on the other
  hand made an unforced error which lead to the leading Stabæk goal in
  extra time, and probably decided the outcome of the game. When Icelandic
  striker Sigurdsson scored his second, almost straight from the kick-off 
  in the second period of extra time, it was no way back for Rosenborg. 
  Sigurdsson had already scored very early in the game, finishing off 
  a nice throughball from Svindal Larsen. Rosenborg finally equalized 
  from the penalty spot, after Mini was held back in the area. Rushfeldt
  scored once again, but apart from that moment he was usually invisible,
  very well tackled by the Stabæk defence. Stabæk will now represent
  Norway in either the last Cup Winners Cup (or the brand new UEFA Cup) in
  1999/2000, whereas Rosenborg travel to Istanbul on Wednesday to meet
  Galatasaray. Based on the jaded performance in the cup final, the league 
  champions will have a hard time getting something out of that game.
