(Ull / Kisa – LSK 1–0) After Sogndal lost at Sandnes, Lillestrøm had the opportunity to take a big step towards promotion. They did not succeed.
Five minutes after the break, the decision was made. Midfielder Steffen Jenssen shot the highest on a precise free kick from Henrik Kristiansen, and stabbed it 1-0 and the match-winner goal for Ull / Kisa.
Lillestrøm pushed for the equalizer, but struggled hard to create chances against a low-level home team. There were no more goals in Jessheim. Promotion competitor Sogndal lost to Sandnes Ulf in extra time on Sunday morning, so the Canarias could increase the lead to five points over Eirik Bakke’s men. It was not so.

– Wool / Kisa are the best, and they are the best in many today. I’m so disappointed to be nauseous, LSK coach Geir Bakke tells Eurosport, who at the same time warns that the team will head straight back to Åråsen for a good old-fashioned “dishwashing meeting”.
– I have told the players that we meet in Åråsen now everyone, everyone, he was enraged.
– Will it be training or talking?
– I do not think we will go out to train no, we will talk together, he answers briefly.
But a two-point punt and a good game for the Juice Village team means Lillestrøm remains in the driver’s seat for the No. 2 promotion spot in 1st division.
Tromsø won in the end
After burning one chance after another in the first half, it was a bit unbelievable that Tromsø went into the break scoreless against Jerv. But ten minutes into the second half, Grimstad’s team couldn’t stay away any further. Kent Are Antonsen found Fitim Azemi, who rushed towards the goal before scoring the winning goal.
This means that Tromsø, which has led the 1st division for most of the season, will continue to advance towards elite league matches in 2021. Promotion can be secured already in the next round.
They are now with 56 points, seven points ahead of Lillestrøm, who undoubtedly has a game less played. Jerv’s defeat means eleventh place, four points above Grorud in the standings.
Ranheim disappointment
Ranheim blew important points in the promotion game when he was only 1-1 against the YMCA. It was the people of Trøndelag who took the initiative in Oslo. Daniel Kvande’s free kick went straight to YMCA goalkeeper Knut André Skjærstein, who appeared to have good shot control. He didn’t have that, and Erik Tønne, awake, awaited his return. He easily put the ball into the goal, but the advantage did not hold. Alagie Sanyang of Team Ekeberg secured a draw.
Three points would have taken Ranheim past Sogndal and brought Lillestrøm’s lead to two points, but that didn’t happen. Svein Maalen’s men are now on 45 points and in fourth place. The YMCA equalization means they retain the last qualifying spot for the Elite Series.
Raufoss scored six
Raufoss follows the “Kåffa” notch on the heel, and was in a party mood when they visited Grorud. The Totnings did not give up until they had scored six goals at the net. Midfielders Kristoffer Nessø and Matias Moldskrød each scored two goals in the 6-1 victory.
There were cheers in extra time at Sandnes when Ulf’s Kent Håvard Eriksen scored 2-1 and three points in the 92nd minute. It must hurt the Juice Village gang, who could overtake Lillestrøm in the promo spot with the win.
“Kamma” stumbled
In Bergen, Kongsvinger led for a long time against Åsane, but Simen Lassen’s second goal of the day ten minutes before the end secured the 2-2 and the points split.
In Briskeby, HamKam got ahead of Jo Nymo Matland two minutes after Vetle Skjærvik was sent off. With the management was not contained. Morten Bjørlo secured a draw for Strømmen, meaning they are still in their place over Grorud in qualifying. The formal team HamKam sniffs the qualification for the promotion with its 34 points, just two behind the YMCA.
A docile showdown between Stjørdals-Blink and Øygarden ended goalless, so the latter is still in the relegation zone.
