Brann - Vålerenga 3-0 (0-0) Brann stadion Att: 9331 1-0 Thorstein Helstad (63) 2-0 Kjetil Løvvik (74) 3-0 Løvvik (89) Yellow card: Geirmund Brendesæther, Brann, Dag Riisnæs, Tom H. Hovi, Hai Ngoc Tran, Kjell Roar Kaasa, Vålerenga. - Another heavy defeat for Vålerenga, which now find themselves bottom of the table. The only good news is that former national team coach Egil "Drillo" Olsen has agreed to step in as manager until the end of the season, with present coach Tjernås continuing as coach. Will national hero "Drillo" be able to save his old club from relegation? Brann, on the other hand are now three points away from the relegation zone, and steadily improving. Stabæk - Molde 1-4 (0-3) Nadderud Att: 5202 0-1 Jo Tessem (11) 0-2 Anders Hasselgård (21) 0-3 Tessem (30) 1-3 Petter Belsvik (62) 1-4 Knut Anders Fostervold (75) Yellow card: Christian Holter, Jesper Jansson, Stabæk, Odd Inge Olsen, Molde. - Nadderud was reopened on Saturday, with a new excellent grass turf. However, Stabæk's hopes of the double were crushed by league leaders Molde, which played their best game of the season and won by a mile. This was sweet revenge for the visitors after a couple of indifferent draws lately, whereas Stabæk must now concentrate on the bronze medals. Viking - Strømsgodset 4-1 (2-1) Stavanger stadion Att: 4843 0-1 Jostein Flo (3) 1-1 Rikardur Dadason (8) 2-1 Bjørn Berland (24) 3-1 Christian Flindt Bjerg (46) 4-1 Vegard Skogheim (60) Yellow card: Kenneth Karlsen, Hans E. Ødegaard, Strømsgodset. - Viking moved up to third place with another good home performance. Despite going behind early, there were no doubt as to which side would win the game. SIF had Jostein Flo injurd and he'll probably miss the UEFA cup game in Israel in midweek. He'll be sorely missed. Bodø/Glimt - Kongsvinger 0-0 Aspmyra Att: 2841 Yellow card: Andreas Evjen, Christian Steen, Bodø/Glimt, Øyvind Berg, Kongsvinger. - Not a very good game in Bodø, and a goalless draw was just about right. Haugesund - Tromsø 1-1 (1-1) Haugesund stadion Att: 3542 0-1 Frode Fermann (11) 1-1 Asbjørn Helgeland (44) Yellow card: Bjørn Johansen, Tromsø. - FKH failed to gather three points after a surprisingly uninspired performance. They still passed Vålerenga at the bottom of the table, but were again passed by Sogndal. Lillestrøm - Rosenborg 0-3 (0-0) Åråsen Att: 6315 0-1 Børge Hernes (64) 0-2 Tore André Dahlum (87) 0-3 Dahlum (89) Yellow card: Runar Kristinsson, Peter Werni, Lillestrøm, Jørn Jamtfall, Bent Inge Johnsen, Rosenborg. - Not a very good rehearsal for RBK before the Champions League qualifying game against Brugge in midweek. LSK were able to contain the champions for long periods, especially in the first half, ad also created some good chances themselves. In the end, though, substitute Dahlum scored two late goals (as he did in the cup in midweek!), which decided the outcome, and kept RBK in the title race. Sogndal - Moss 4-3 (2-1) Fosshaugane Att: 1041 0-1 Hans Palmquist (28) 1-1 Rune Buer Johansen (31) 2-1 Bjørn Tore Hansen (43) 3-1 Tommy Øren (59) 4-1 Øren (60) 4-2 Palmquist (74) 4-3 Ørjan Christiansen (o.g. 80) - Three vital points for Sogndal against Moss, which are falling closer and closer to the relegation zone. Man of the match was youngster Øren who capped a good allround performance with two fine goals.
