1-1 Jostein Flo (45)
2-1 Bengt Sæternes (83)
3-1 Sæternes (89)

Kongsvinger - Molde 2-3 (1-1)
Gjemselund stadion
Att: 1938
1-0 Steinar Adolfsson (12)
1-1 Ståle Rønningen (o.g. 15)
2-1 Trym Bergmann (70)
2-2 Andreas Lund (73)
2-3 Lund (75)
Yellow card: Ståle Rønningen, Stefan Thordarsson, Kongsvinger, Pål
Lydersen, Odd Inge Olsen, Freddy dos Santos, Molde.

- Molde faced a surprising defeat but two late goals by Lund turned
  the game around. In truth, this was nothing more than the visitors
  deserved after being the better team fom most parts of the game.

Moss - Viking 0-2 (0-1)
Melløs stadion
Att: 1920
0-1 Morten Berre (22)
0-2 Gunnar Aase (67)
Yellow card: Odd Arne Espevoll, Viking.

- Viking bounced back from their home defeat to Odd, and gained 
  three valuable points in Moss. The home team is struggling at the
  moment, and could face a long season fighting against the drop if
  the play doesn't improve.

Odd Grenland - Stabæk 3-2 (2-2)
Odd stadion
Att: 7493
0-1 Martin Andresen (12)
0-2 André Flem (20)
1-2 Thomas Røed (41)
2-2 Morten Fevang (44)
3-2 Tor Gunnar Johnsen (74)
Yellow card: Jan Frode Nornes, Morten Fevang, Odd Grenland, Jesper
Jansson, Thomas Finstad, Stabæk.

- Newcomers Odd Grenland added another surprising top team to their
  winning list, in the first game top division game in Skien for
  31 years. Title contenders Stabæk quickly took a two-goal lead, but
  the home team bounced back.

Tromsø - Brann 5-0 (2-0)
Alfheim stadion
Att: 5100
1-0 Rune Lange (3)
2-0 Tryggvi Gudmundsson (13)
3-0 Andreas Ottosson (47)
4-0 Ottosson (64)
5-0 Roar Christensen (83)
Red card: Arne Vidar Moen (23), Brann.

- For the second match in a row Brann lost. And for the second time
  they had a player sent off in the first half. A quite disasterous
  start for the team from Bergen, where the expectations are usually
  too high, which makes the fall equally high when the club starts
  to lose games. All credit to TIL, though, which played a very good
  game, with Swede Ottosson scoring two goals.

Lillestrøm - Rosenborg 3-2 (1-0)
Åråsen stadion
Att: 6571
1-0 Arild Sundgot (19)
2-0 Pål Strand (55)
2-1 Heidar Helguson (o.g. 57)
3-1 Torgeir Bjarmann (83)
3-2 Bent Skammelsrud (pen. 90)
Yellow card: Runar Berg, Rosenborg.

- This game was televised on Norwegian TV on saturday, and to the
  surprise of all ended with a very deserved home win. LSK outfought
  RBK in every department of the game, and showed that the win in
  Stavanger was not accidental. RBK, on the other hand, looked very
  complacent, and seemed to think that turning out was enough to
  gain the points. Perhaps they have played too much in Champions League
  lately? :-) Having said that, RBK have a habit of coming back very
  strongly after defeats in the beginning of the season, and this will 
  probably happen this year too.

Skeid - Vålerenga 0-2 (0-0)
Ullevaal stadion
Att: 5714
0-1 Espen Haug (58)
0-2 Espen Musæus (88)
Yellow card: Ståle Andersen, Skeid.

- This local derby was televised live on Norwegian TV. The game was played
  at Ullevaal, which is actually the home ground of the third big 
  Oslo team, Lyn. The reason is that Skeid will play the rest of their 
  home games at Voldsløkka, a very small stadium close to the area in Oslo
  where they come from, but this ground was judged too small for this loacl
  derby. As expected, Vålerenga, was a number too big for their rivals,
  but they had to fight for their win until the end, despite having
  territorial advantage for most of the game.
