Champions League, group E, round 2 (18/9)
==================================
Rosenborg - Porto 1-2 (0-1)
Lerkendal
Att: 20.007
0-1 Jesus Pena (10)
0-2 Deco (60)
1-2 Sigurd Rushfeldt (90)
Referee: Graham Barber, England.
Yellow card: Harald Martin Brattbakk (6), Rosenborg, Jorge Costa (30),
Mario Da Silva (87), Jorge Andrade (90), Helmer Postiga (90), Porto.

- Porto surprised Rosenborg with an offensive attitude, and took an
  early lead.  The home team had their chances to equalize (Skammelsrund hit
  the crossbar) before the break, but in the second half the visitors
  showed their superiority and added a second goal.  In the end, a well
  deserved win for Porto, and a bad start for RBK.
 
Champions League, group E, round 3 (25/9)
==================================
Rosenborg - Juventus 1-1 (0-0)
Lerkendal
Att: 20.748
0-1 Alessandro Del Piero (85)
1-1 Bent Skammelsrud (pen. 88)
Referee: Jan Wegereef, Netherlands.
Yellow card: Frode Johnsen (64), Ørjan Berg (80), Rosenborg, Lilian
Thuram (4), Gianluca Zambrotta (68), Gianluigi Buffon (88), Juventus.

- A much better performance by RBK.  However, Juve should have won this
  game based on the second half performance, when the visitors hit the
  woodwork three times before Del Piero finally gave them the lead.
  However, few minutes later Brattbakk was brought down and Skammelsrud
  levelled the game from the spot.  Still, a single point from two
  home games makes qualification for the second group phase and uphill
  task for Rosenborg.

Champions League, group E, round 1 (10/10)
==================================
Celtic (Scotland) - Rosenborg 1-0 (1-0)
Celtic Park
Att: 57.232
1-0 Alan Thompson (21)
Referee: Alain Sars, France.
Yellow card: Janne Saarinen, Rosenborg.

- Originally postponed from September 12 because of terrorist attacks in
  USA.  Another defeat for Rosenborg, when Thompson struck a freekick through
  a RBK wall early on.  The rest of the game was pretty even in terms of
  posession, but once again the Norwegians failed to create any clear-cut
  chances.  Qualification for the next round looks very difficult now.

Champions League, group E, round 4 (17/10)
==================================
Juventus (Italy) - Rosenborg 1-0 (1-0)
Stadio delle Alpi
Att: 38.642
1-0 David Trezeguet (25)
Referee: Graham Poll, England.

- As expected the gulf in class between the two sides was big.  Juve did
  what they had to do, but little more.  RBK keeper Arason had a good
  game saving his team on several occations.  Five minutes from Strand 
  could have equalized on RBK's only chance of the game when he shot 
  straight at the keeper from close range, but that would have been daylight
  robbery.

Champions League, group E, round 5 (23/10)
==================================
Rosenborg - Celtic (Scotland) 2-0 (2-0)
Lerkendal stadion
Att: 21.540
1-0 Harald Martin Brattbakk (19)
2-0 Brattbakk (36)
Referee: Juan Antonio Fernandez Marín, Spain.
Yellow card: Christer Basma, Janne Saarinen, Rosenborg, Stilian
Petrov, Neil Lennon, Celtic.

- Finally, a good game from Rosenborg which was crowned by a win and three
  points which keeps their slim chance of advancing alive before the last
  round.  Of course it was old Celtic player Brattbakk who did the damage
  with two well-taken goals.  Skamelsrud could have made it 3-0 from the
  penalty spot just before halftime, but missed.  However, the win was
  not in very much danger despite Celtic pushing all players forward 
  in the last quarter.

Champions League, group E, round 6 (31/10)
==================================
Porto (Portugal) - Rosenborg 1-0 (1-0)
Estadio das Antas
Att: 31.429
1-0 Jesus Pena (37)
Referee: Hartmut Strampe, Germany.
Yellow card: Roar Strand, Rosenborg, Mario Silva, Porto.

- As expected RBK crashed to their third straight 0-1 deafeat away from
  home in this year's CL.  This was also their 10th straight away defeat 
  in the competition, clearly indicating where the trouble is.  Frankly,
  the result flatters Rosenborg as Porto outplayed the visitors 
  completely in the first half and should have taken at least a four goal 
  lead if it wasn't for the heroics of Arason in goal and some inept 
  Porto forwards.  After the break, the Norwegians raised their game, but
  was never close in advancing to the next round, which is just as well as
  this RBK side is not one of their best as has been evident in the 
  Norwegian premier division all season.
