(Haugesund 2–1 Vålerenga) The Oslo club soared after the signing of Vidar Örn Kjartansson, but in Haugesund it was the home side who had reason to smile. Afterward, VIF felt cheated into scoring.
– The corner I scored was not even close to a free kick, so it should have been 2-2. I stood with my back to the doorman. There was a man between me and the goalkeeper, and I was standing there, Tollås Nation tells Eurosport.
The Oslo club probably also felt cheated by a goal when Jonatan Tollås Nation had a ball into the net a few minutes after Matti Vilhjalmsson’s reduction goal, but the goal was disallowed.

– This is moot, said Eurosport commentator Asbjørn Myhre.
– Incomprehensible, is the verdict of the Vålerenga coach, Dag-Eilev Fagermo.
See the situation and judge for yourself:
Fredrik Oldrup Jensen also disagreed with the cancellation.
– We all agree that there is no free throw. We are allowed to be there in the same way that they are allowed to be there, Vålerenga’s midfield anchor tells Eurosport.
Thus, Vålerenga was at zero points, which ended behind already after a quarter of an hour.
Kristoffer Velde was ruthless when he picked up a weak play from Vålerenga goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson.
The winger displayed world-class shooting prowess by turning the ball into the corner.
– It was energy, we talked about that before the game, and it was two good goals. I said you should put a button on Velde towards Dønnum, and I keep my word. A beautiful goal, I felt as soon as he left his foot that he was going to go in a nice arc, Velde tells Eurosport.
Haugesund has also recovered a scorer in Ibrahima Wadji. Right-back Mikkel Desler had caught up with that.
The Dane served his Senegalese teammate with a big post, after which the striker slipped free between Vålerenga’s pair of blocks and made it 2-0.

Vålerenga replaced Osame Sahraoui during the break. The little coach immediately made his mark on the game.
Already in the first minute of the second half, the 19-year-old hit a free kick in a dangerous position.
Herolind Shala gave him a goal on a layup, tried to hit it with his right and finished off with his left awkwardly. Alexander Stølås tried to even things out by sending a long ball to the center forwards, but the visiting defense made the best of this rather direct style of play.
However, it was no more than a reduction goal for Vålerenga, who on Friday could introduce Vidar Örn Kjartansson as his new striker.
