Strindheim - Viking 5-3 (3-0) Lerkendal Att: 1050 1-0 Terje Høsøien (pen. 5) 2-0 Kristian Sørli (15) 3-0 Joachim Walltin (24) 3-1 Kenneth Storvik (60) 4-1 Torgeir Rugtvedt (72) 5-1 Walltin (73) 5-2 Tommy Bergersen (80) 5-3 Gunnar Aase (89) Yellow card: Ole Gunnar Iversen, Joachim Walltin, Strindheim, Kenneth Storvik, Gøran Sørloth, Ulf Karlsen, Viking. - Another surprise win for Strindheim (and yet again by an unusual scoreline). Do they have a chance to stay up after all? Viking on the other hand must improve a lot if they are to shock Auxerre on Tuesday. Lillestrøm - Brann 1-3 (0-1) Åråsen Att: 2767 0-1 Geir Hasund (36) 0-2 Frank Strandli (pen. 63) 0-3 Eivind Karlsbakk (72) 1-3 Peter Hedman (90) Red card: Torgeir Bjarmann, Lillestrøm. Yellow card: Stein Arne Ingelstad, Lillestrøm, Per Ove Ludvigsen, Brann. - Another bad performance by one of the Euro Cup participants. The visitors soaked up the LSK pressure in the first half hour, then took the lead and after that were in full command until the final whistle. After the game there were chants of "Thordarson out" from the home crowd, but instead the LSK board decided to prolonge his contract for yet another year yesterday. Tromsø - Bodø/Glimt 0-4 (0-1) Aspmyra Att: 4549 0-1 Stig Johansen (26) 0-2 Ørjan Berg (70) 0-3 Arild Berg (74) 0-4 Johansen (83) Yellow card: Jonny Hansen, Stian Larsen, Tromsø, Aasmund Bjørkan, Bodø/Glimt. - In the battle of Northern Norway, the visitors won convincingly in the end, after TIL had started the brightest. The home side were obviously full of confidence after 15-0 in the last two games, but were brought back to reality in this game, once B/G had taken the lead. The visitors are now really medal contenders, and with the current form of Viking and LSK, they must be favourites for the bronze medals. Hamarkameratene - Kongsvinger 2-1 (1-0) Briskeby Att: 1946 1-0 Jon Eirik Ødegaard (28) 1-1 Jørn Karlsrud (55) 2-1 Ødegaard (85) Yellow card: Heine Jenssen, Hamarkameratene, Jørn Karlsrud, Per Gunnar Dalløkken, Kongsvinger. - An extremely important home win for Ham-Kam, against neighbours Kongsvinger. Still, the home side are four points behind Stabæk on the 11th spot. Kongsvinger could also face some trouble, as they're only five points ahead of Ham-Kam. Hødd - Molde 2-2 (1-0) Høddvoll Att: 3843 1-0 Arild Sundgot (37) 1-1 Arild Stavrum (70) 1-2 Stavrum (77) 2-2 Geir Televik (81) - The last local "derby" in this round was played in Ulsteinvik, where, in the battle of Møre and Romsdal, the points were shared. The home side have the least reason to be satisfied with that, as they should have wrapped the game up before half time. Molde, on the other hand are appalling in the defense at the moment, and will be crushed by Paris SG on Thursday, unless they improve a lot. Stabæk- Rosenborg 2-1 (1-0) Nadderud Att: 5162 1-0 Andreas Mayer (45) 2-0 Kjell Roar Kaasa (81) 2-1 Harald Brattbakk (85) Yellow card: Lars Joachim Grimstad, Tommy Svindal Larsen, Stabæk, John Olav Hjelde, Steffen Iversen, Rosenborg. - A very surprising result in Bærum this weekend, where the home side and newcomers beat the unchallanged champions. It must be said though, that RBK rested three of their star players (Mini, Hoftun and Strand) in this game, in order to have them fit on Wednesday against Legia in the Champions League. Still, one would expect RBK to beat Stabæk, but when the rest of the players seemed to be thinking about that game in Warszaw as well, you don't win any games of football, not even in Norway. For the home side, the German Andreas Mayer, on loan from St.Pauli, was instrumental in midfield, and he will clearly be much better than the last import Paul Davis, who was sent home after 30 minutes in the summer. VIF Fotball - Start 4-1 (2-0) Ullevaal Att: 4978 1-0 Bjørn Arild Levernes (8) 2-0 Espen Haug (39) 3-0 Dag Riisnæs (61) 4-0 Kent Bergersen (78) 4-1 Andreas Lund (87) - Start are now in a deep crisis, and have conceded 17 goals in their last 4 games. On this form they are a strong bet for one of the relegation places, especially as they don't have the players needed when the going gets tough at the bottom. VIF, on the other hand, are still improving, and with a relatively easy run-in, they could very well challenge for one of the UEFA Cup places.
