First, the visiting team Åsane refused to take the field against Jerv in the Obosligaen and demanded that the match be moved. Still, it exploded and then stopped after just two minutes.
The drama in the previously exposed match to the crown began with violent protests from Åsane before the original start. A quarter of an hour after the allotted time, both teams were still arriving on the soggy natural grass of Levermyr, and referee Harald Røvig Sletner started the match.
But after just two minutes and twenty seconds of play, the teams disappeared back into the locker room.

General manager Gorm Natlandsmyr in Åsane says the clubs and the Norwegian Football Association are in dialogue on Thursday afternoon about restructuring the match. Just before 3pm Natlandsmyr tells VG that the match has been confirmed to be played on Thursday at 7.30pm at the Sør Arena in Start.
Earlier in the day, Natlandsmyr made it clear that guests did not want to play the game in Levermyr:
– The safety of the players comes first. This is indefensible. We don’t send our players there, said the manager of the club who is struggling to secure a slightly sensational qualifying spot for promotional games to the Elite Series.
But they don’t want to play at Levermyr, even if it goes beyond the possibility of playoff games, if they are sentenced to a loss for not competing.
Åsane’s team coach Odd Krister Føllesdal informed BA that they wanted to move the match. General manager Trond Christoffersen at Jerv was not of the same opinion:
– The judges have said that it will be a match, and we are ready as F, us. It is grass, December 10 and rain, so the fact that it is soft we can tolerate, Christoffersen told Eurosport.

Jerv’s home turf has literally been in bad weather before, for example during the qualifying match between Jerv and Mjøndalen four years ago.
– The Wolverines do not have the reserve arena, as they are required. This is a requirement that the Norwegian Football Association has clearly communicated in recent weeks. I don’t understand what works, says Natlandsmyr in Åsane.
This match has been postponed from matchday 28 of the league. By then, Åsane had received several cases of corona infection on the team.
