Viking - Lillestrøm 3-1 (1-0) Stavanger stadion Att: 5950 1-0 Erik Nevland (pen. 45) 2-0 Abdul-Karim Ahmed (60) 3-0 Bjørn Berland (70) 3-1 Torgeir Bjarmann (90) Yellow card: Peter Werni, Lillestrøm. - The crisis continues in Lillestrøm. After another defeat last season's silver medalists find themselves deep in the relegation zone. Viking gained three more home points which keeps the team within short distance of the top three. In this game, Ahmed in particular was very useful. Odd Grenland - Rosenborg 1-3 (0-3) Odd stadion Att: 7505 0-1 Harald Martin Brattbakk (11) 0-2 Brattbakk (41) 0-3 Roar Strand (43) 1-3 Martin Wiig (70) - Rosenborg are beginnig to find their form and beat Odd away in a pretty convincing manner. With F. Johnsen and Enerly back the team is now more properly balanced, and as long as Brattbakk finds the back of the net the champions are still favourites for another title. Odd are among their main challengers but must not continue the habit of losing against the other top teams. Sogndal - Moss 0-4 (0-2) Fosshaugane stadion Att: 1677 0-1 Simen Brenne (13) 0-2 Morten Moldskred (44) 0-3 Brenne (56) 0-4 Kjell Olofsson (60) Yellow card: Terje Flugheim, Anders Stadheim, Sogndal, Anders Juliussen, Moss. - Sogndal are in deep crisis. 0-5 against Aalesund in the cup, was followed by another heavy deafeat against fellow relegation candidate Moss. Coach Glomnes is having a hard time keeping his job if this continues. The three points are crucial for Moss in their struggle, and lift the team outside of the bottom three. Brann - Molde 4-1 (1-1) Brann stadion Att: 8315 0-1 Magne Hoseth (pen. 2) 1-1 Tommy Knarvik (27) 2-1 Martin Knudsen (49) 3-1 Nkosianthi Nhleko (54) 4-1 Alonso Solis (76) Yellow card: Erlend Ormbostad, Molde. - A surprise in Bergen when Brann gave Molde their first defeat in June. And a well deserved win it was too. The two newcomers Nhleko and Solis bought to replace Helstad and Knarvik proved their value with excellent goals. Molde suffered a setback, and can't have many more of those if they want to win the league. Lyn - Bryne 1-0 (1-0) Ullevaal stadion Att: 2071 1-0 Per Egil Swift (18) Yellow card: Trond Bjørnsen, Kim Rune Hellesund, Bryne. - Lyn continue to win at home, albeit without impressing this time around. Still, seven wins in a row at Ullevaal, and a five points lead at the half way stage is far better than anyone anticipated before the season. Can this run continue after the summer break and give the team from Oslo their third league title and their first since 1968? Bodø/Glimt - Vålerenga 2-2 (1-0) Aspmyra stadion Att: 2761 1-0 Bengt Sæternes (44) 1-1 Johan Arneng (54) 2-1 Fredrik Kjølner (68) 2-2 Stian Ohr (76) Yellow card: Kristoffer Paulsen, Vegard Sannes, Bodø/Glimt, Johan Arneng, Vålerenga. - Another draw between these two teams, the sixth in a row. And a fair results it was too, with both teams having their good periods of the encounter. Stabæk - Start 5-2 (4-0) Nadderud stadion Att: 2738 1-0 Thomas Finstad (4) 2-0 Christian Holter (pen. 6) 3-0 Tryggvi Gudmundsson (30) 4-0 Finstad (36) 4-1 Kimmo Tauviainen (55) 5-1 Gudmundsson (72) 5-2 Preben Gundersen (84) Yellow card: Preben Gundersen, Start. - Another heavy defeat for Start, which keeps the team from Kristiansand rooted at the bottom of the table. Stabæk did what they had to do and especially Gudmundsson are finding goals easy to score this season.
