After the match, Lillestrøm coach Andreas Georgson was frustrated with his team’s performance in the match against Molde. They are currently in eighth place.
– It really bothers me to lose a game like that. It’s a difficult feeling and a big disappointment, says Georgson to TV 2 after the game and said:
– In the first half we are cowards and fear. And passive. It doesn’t work – then we’re left with nothing. We all have to go out and go in.
And the match picture showed the reason for the LSK coach’s disappointment. Already twelve minutes into the game, Kristian Eriksen topped the scoring statistics in the Eliteserien – in the company of Albert Grønbæk.
– They have so much quality, they have so much class. It was a one-way street. Molde looked like they do their best, TV 2 expert Yaw Amankwah said during FotballXtra.

Lillestrøm showed another example of poor free play from the back when they made a mess of the ball. And that’s for the man you’d rather not mess with.
Magnus Wolff found Eikrem Eriksen in the box, who scored his eighth goal of the season.

But it was not to stop there.
Just over ten minutes later, Martin Linnes fired a long shot from almost 20 metres. He thundered into the post, and with marginal bad luck the ball went into the back of goalkeeper Mads Hedenstad Christiansen and straight into the goal.
Did you get this from the Glimt-Brann final?
And the overspending continued. The victory was crowned when Linnes passed easily to Mathias Fjørtoft Løvik, who sent the longest ball across the entire pitch.
– It’s always nice to score. That VAR situation took a long time. I thought it was typical for me to get it, but luckily it went in my favor, says Mathias Fjørtoft Løvik to TV 2 after the match.
The score was checked for the outside – a check of about 2 and a half minutes – to intense booing from the stands.
New VAR protests were also made. The Lillestrøm supporters marked their supporters by remaining silent during the first half. As for Molde, Tornekrattet was empty – as announced earlier this week.
