– It’s fantastic. We had a very good away game, a great performance, Molde’s coach Erling Moe smiled at TV 2, who was also able to smile for a silver medal, after Vålerenga gave points against Viking.
Monday is the draw for the round of 16, where Manchester United is led by former Molde coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær, one of the possible opponents of Erling Moe’s team.
After Manchester United lost to RB Leipzig on Tuesday and finished third in their Champions League group.
– When we get here, we will have the team that gives us the best chance of moving forward. But that would have been fun. Then we should give gasoline, we take what we get, Moe also told TV 2.
– It would have been nice to knock them out, but we’d rather have something that is easier to knock out, so we can take them later, Fredrik Aursnes told TV 2.
Double oak cream
Magnus Wolff Eikrem’s two goals meant it was never exciting in Vienna. Molde was in full control.
The premise before the game was clear.
Mold would be ahead with points. If they scored themselves, it would be enough to lose by just one goal.
But that didn’t seem to bother him.
Because Molde started better, and already after a few minutes Magnus Wolff sent Eikrem to the head. So the Austrians needed three goals.
They also took the initiative, and before the break came the draw, but in the second half Molde came out at full speed again.
An ingenious heel pass from Fredrik Aursnes on the field gave Eikrem free play, and he threw the ball into the net on the first touch.
In the end, Rapid Wien got the tie when a shot hit Sheriff Sinyan in the knee and he fell to goal.
But the hosts needed two goals in extra time to secure promotion. They also had a great opportunity, but it remained for Molde.
– It is impressive that Molde has met those levels, praised Erik Huseklepp in the TV 2 studio.
Arsenal group winner
With ten points, Molde becomes number two in the group. The winner of the group will be Arsenal.
The great English team won all their group matches and completed the group match by beating Dundalk 4-2 away on Thursday.
