Vålerenga devastated by archrival – league gold is near – NRK Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

LSK has won the series six years in a row. During the same six years, he has won the cup five times.

But in the different year 2020, the domain ended. On Sunday, they lost 4-2 to arch rival Vålerenga. Thus, they are already seven points behind the capital club with two games left to play. In other words, it is clear that they will not take the league gold this year.

– It’s an era that ended. No one has dominated more than LSK, said NRK’s ​​Olav Traaen.

Also, LSK Women has Rosenborg and Avaldsnes ahead. Therefore, they may be left without a medal.

– There is something about being in the games here that means something extra. Get mobilized enough. It probably depends a bit on self-confidence and the result of the series, LSK coach Hege Riise tells NRK after the match.

Reduction in vain

Vålerenga was the best team at home in Intility. After half an hour, Synne Jensen put them in the lead.

Just before the break, the locals turned. Sigrid Heien Hansen’s shot went between the legs of LSK goalkeeper Ida Norstrøm.

So, a few minutes after the break, things got worse for the reigning champion. Dejana Stefanovic made it 3-0, and the game was practically punctured.

Sophie Romàn Haug dropped her head after a corner kick in just over 70 minutes, but only minutes later Toppserien’s leading scorer Njoya Ajara made it 4-1.

LSK dropped once again with five minutes to go, but it was too late. The gold of the league was lost to the archrival, who thus can take the gold of the league.

– We would like to be in that position ourselves. We are not quite there. I don’t think we are taking the opportunity fully.

Believes Vålerenga wins the series

After Rosenborg beat Avaldsnes the previous Sunday, there is now a one-point gap between RBK and Vålerenga at the top. From Rosenborg to Avaldsnes in third place, there are three points.

– I put a little button for Vålerenga to take the league gold this year. What speaks against it is that they have a lot of matches in a short time now, but have also taken on easier matches to play again, says NRK soccer expert Carl-Erik Torp.

He is supported by fellow expert Morten Morisbak Skjønsberg.

– Before the game, we talked about a change of power. Maybe that’s what we saw today, thinks Skjønsberg.

– It will be exciting all the way. It’s fun for Toppserien and fun for us, who play big games all the time, says Sigrid Heien Hansen.

Vålerenga faces Lyn (8th place) and Arna-Bjørnar (7th place) in the final two rounds. Rosenborg meets Sandviken (fifth place) and Klepp (sixth place).
