This time away from home. The team from Bergen seems to be over the small crisis. Kongsvinger - Rosenborg 0-1 (0-0) Gjemselund Att: 4025 0-1 Tore André Dahlum (81) Yellow card: Abdul Karim Ahmed, Kongsvinger. - A late goal by Dahlum gave RBK all three points, in a game which could have gone either way. KIL now have four one-goal defeats, and are rooted to the bottom. Lillestrøm - Stabæk 1-2 (0-1) Åråsen stadion Att: 6424 0-1 Helgi Sigurdsson (45) 0-2 Arild Sundgot (o.g. 51) 1-2 Heidar Helguson (80) Yellow card: Andre Flem, Stabæk, Magnus Kihlberg, Heidar Helguson, Lillestrøm. - LSK suffered their first defeat at home to title contetnders Stabæk. The big difference between the sides were goalkeeper Olsen, who saved the visitors on several occations. Moss - Odd 1-0 (0-0) Melløs Att: 3452 1-0 Dagfinn Enerly (80) Yellow card: Gard Kristiansen, Christian Johnsen, Jerry Månsson, Moss, Tor Gunnar Johnsen, Odd. - Another undefeated team, Odd, suffered their first loss in Moss. The game was very scrappy, but a late goal by Enerly settled the issue, and gave Moss their first points of the season. Skeid - Strømsgodset 4-0 (2-0) Voldsløkka Att: 1822 1-0 Lennart Steffensen (10) 2-0 Petter Halvorsen (18) 3-0 André Schei Lindbæk (54) 4-0 Lindbæk (82) Yellow card: Stefan Gislason, Strømsgodset. Red card: Jostein Flo, Strømsgodset (52). - Skeid also recorded their first win in the small and local Voldsløkka stadium, which the team from Oslo has chosen as their home ground. The home team surprised the visitors with two early goals, and a more offensive approach than in previous games. And when Jostein Flo was sent off for striking an opponent, there was no way back for Strømsgodset, and Lindbæk could score two second half goals. Tromsø - Viking 1-3 (0-1) Alfheim Att: 5946 0-1 Gunnar Aase (4) 1-1 Andreas Ottoson (57) 1-2 Tom Sanne (64) 1-3 Magnus Svensson (74) Yellow card: Olav Råstad, Tromsø, Audun Helgason, Odd Arne Espevoll, Trygve Nygård, Viking. - Viking continue to win away from home, but as they have lost both home matches that record only keeps them in the middle of the table. TIL had the better of the play, and created the most opportunities, but Viking were deadly effective. Vålerenga - Molde 2-0 (1-0) Bislett Att: 9509 1-0 Bjørn Arild Levernes (25) 2-0 Pascal Simpson (60) - Vålerenga climbed to the top of the premier division for the first time since 1988, when they defeated title favourites Molde in the televised game on Monday. The win was very deserved, as Molde were outfought in every third of the field. Another clean sheet for the Oslo side means that they have only conceded one goal in four matches. Vålerenga are also the only undefeated team in the league. Levernes and Simpson were the goal scorers, and especially the latter is eager to prove his critics wrong after being labelled a mistake after his first season with the club in 1998. Unfortunately, the field at Bislett is very bumpy these days, which suited the more direct style of Vålerenga better than the more passing game of Molde.
