Viking - Rosenborg 1-1 (0-0)
Att: 13.119
0-1 Steffen Iversen (63)
1-1 Egil Østenstad (73)
Yellow card: Erik Pedersen, Viking, Erik Hoftun, Rosenborg.

- A draw was a fair result in a disappointing game with very few
  chances. Viking managed to restrict RBK to one clear chance, but at 
  the expense of their own offensive play. Perhaps they should have
  gone for the win instead...


Tromsø - Strømsgodset 0-1 (0-0)
Att: 3706
0-1 Marko Tanasic (69)
Yellow card: Stein Berg Johansen, Tromsø, Marcus Ziegler, Eirik Fredriksen,
Strømsgodset.

- A surprise at Alfheim where an inefficient home side lost to a battling
  SIF. TIL continued their bad spell from last weekend, whereas the 
  visitors worked hard in defence and also had some good counter-attacks.


Brann - Moss 1-1 (0-0)
Att: 9231
1-0 Roger Helland (48)
1-1 Kjell Olofsson (77)
Yellow card: Claus Eftevaag, Brann, Rune Buer Johansen, Knut Helge Hagen,
Sigbjørn Kolnes, Moss.
Red card: Martin Andresen, Moss.

- After 0-10 in Trondheim last weekend, the crisis continue in Brann
  when they could only draw against bottom club and 10-men Moss. Despite
  taking the lead and creating enough chances to add to that lead, they
  allowed Moss to equalize. In the last quarter the visitors could even
  have scored the winner. Most impressive was the attendance figure of
  almost 10000. However, at the final whistle the major part booed Brann
  off the field...


Stabæk - Skeid 1-1 (1-0)
Att: 2786
1-0 Lars Joachim Grimstad (41)
1-1 Dagfinn Enerly (61)
Yellow card: André Flem, Stabæk, Ole Petter Skonnord, Hjalmar Johansen,
Tom Henning Hovi, Anders Jacobsen, Skeid.

- Skeid had one chance in the game and scored, and thus are still
  undefeated in a league game away from home. In fact, last defeat was
  back in September 1994. The home side drew at home for the third time
  and once more in a game they really should have won.


Vålerenga - Start 1-0 (1-0)
Att: 3694
1-0 Espen Musæus (40)
Yellow card: Viggo Strømme, Vålerenga, Svein Enersen, Start.

- Finally a win for VIF in this bottom of the table clash at Ullevaal.
  The win was deserved although it could have gone either way. The level
  of play was generally poor, but it was entertaining at times as both
  teams made defencive mistakes.


Molde - Kongsvinger 2-0 (1-0)
Att: 3083
1-0 Ole Bjørn Sundgot (1)
2-0 Ole Gunnar Solskjær (59)
Yellow card: Petter Christian Singsaas, Knut Anders Fostervold, Molde,
Arnfinn Engerbakk, Pål Håpnes, Kongsvinger.

- An easy home win for Molde, which look on their way back to the top.
  KIL don't have enough class to win such games and must concentrate
  on getting the necessaey point at home instead.


Bodø/Glimt - Lillestrøm 1-3 (0-1)
Att: 4040
0-1 Arne Sandstø (31)
0-2 Frank Strandli (66)
1-2 Bent Inge Johnsen (pen. 72)
1-3 Geir Frigård (89)
Yellow card: Stig Johansen, Bodø/Glimt, Peter Werni, André Bergdølmo,
Lillestrøm.
Red card: Runar Berg, Bodø/Glimt.

- LSK recovered quickly after last week's shock home defeat. This 
  time they played much more cynical, allowing B/G possesion of the 
  ball, but still created the best opportunities on quick counter-attacks.
  Strandli scored his first goal for the visitors after his transfer 
  from Brann.
