Brann - Kongsvinger 2-0 (1-0)
Att: 10.532
1-0 Tore André Flo (pen. 41)
2-0 Per-Ove Ludvigsen (60)
Yellow card: Per-Ove Ludvigsen, Brann, Ole Einar Martinsen, Vidar Evensen,
Stein Arne Ingelstad, Kongsvinger.

- A first home win for Brann, which keeps them in contention for
  one of the medals. KIL lost yet again away from home, and are
  facing a long battle against relegation.

Tromsø - Lillestrøm 1-0 (1-0)
Att: 4016
1-0 Bjørn Johansen (34)
Yellow card: Jonny Hanssen, Sigurd Rushfeldt, Ole Martin Årst, Tromsø,
Peter Werni, Geir Frigård, Lillestrøm.

- League leaders LSK lost for only their second time of the season,
  but are still in the lead. The visitors were outfought by a
  physical TIL, and the win could have been more convincing.

Stabæk - Molde 3-3 (2-2)
Att: 4025
1-0 Petter Belsvik (2)
2-0 Belsvik (7)
2-1 Ole Gunnar Solskjær (21)
2-2 Daniel Berg Hestad (28)
3-2 Fredrik Gärdeman (67)
3-3 Arild Stavrum (pen. 80)

- A very enjoyable game at Nadderud, where once more Stabæk 
  failed to turn a good performance into three points, and
  instead had to settle for a draw. Had they taken their 
  chances in all their home games, SIF would be challenging 
  for the title now... Molde on the other hand had Solskjær
  in excellent form, but the defense let the visitors down,

Vålerenga - Bodø/Glimt 1-1 (1-1)
Att: 5034
1-0 Espen Haug (17)
1-1 Runar Berg (34)
Yellow card: Bjørn Arild Levernes, Vålerenga.

- A poor game at Ullevaal, which VIF should have won, but
  their inability to score goals again proved decisive.
  Their only goal came from an excellent long range shot
  from Haug. B/G were not much better, and were happy for
  one point after five straight defeats.

Rosenborg - Skeid 6-1 (2-0)
Att: 9136
1-0 Jahn Ivar Jakobsen (30)
2-0 Jakobsen (33)
2-1 Anders Michelsen (51)
3-1 Harald Martin Brattbakk (63)
4-1 Brattbakk (70)
5-1 Steffen Iversen (76)
6-1 Bent Skammelsrud (89)
Yellow card: Jon Olav Hjelde, Rosenborg, Mike Kjølø, Jan-Petter Olsen,
Dagfinn Enerly, Morten Berre, Glenn Theodorsen, Skeid.

- Skeid's unbeaten away run was smashed by Rosenborg, which
  themselves regained some of the confidence lost from the
  last weeks' games. However, the scoreline was somewhat 
  misleading. Not that RBK didn't deserve the win, but had 
  Skeid scored on their penalty kick at 2-1, the game could 
  have ended up differently. Unlik other teams (Moss...) 
  the visitors came to Lerkendal to win, and not only 
  defend, but paid the prize for that in the last half hour.

Viking - Strømsgodset 0-1 (0-1)
Att: 7322
0-1 Marcus Ziegler (42)
Yellow card: Marcus Ziegler, Dimitrij Barannik, Strømsgodset.

- A big surprise in Stavanger, with SIF inflicting the first
  home defeat on Viking. The victory was achieved by a tactical
  move by SIF coach Kristoffersen, who played the fast Ziegler
  upfront, insted of the big, slow Lee Chapman, as was anticipated.
  The German answered by scoring the winning goal.

Moss - Start 1-0 (1-0)
Att: 3533
1-0 Kjell Olofsson (28)
Yellow card: Sigbjørn Kolnes, Moss, Pål Lydersen, Start.

- Start crashed back to earth after the win against RBK, and
  deservedly lost to fellow strugglers Moss. What use is there
  to win against the best teams, when you go down easily against
  the opponents close to you? The situation looks bleak for the
  team from Kristiansand. Moss, on the other hand, with only
  one defeat in seven, crawled out of the relegation zone for
  the first time, and will not be the pushover all the experts
  expected (as is obviously also the case for fellow newcomers 
  Skeid and Strømsgodset...)
