(Molde – Aalesund 2–1) Magnus Wolff Eikrem and Leke James ensured Molde’s victory at home against Aalesund.
Molde was basically the best team for the 90 minutes when they faced Aalesund at Aker Stadium.
But by no means was it the goal-oriented arrangement that it could have been.

Magnus Wolff Eikrem made it 1-0 after 31 minutes of play, and seemed to stop for a long time.
However, Leke James made it 2-0 in the 80th minute when from 14 meters he put the ball into the goal with an Aalesund foot, and at the end of the game Sigurd Haugen put a penalty and thus the game ended 2-1 for Molde .
– We have incredible chances that we squandered, but it’s a good win. But we see that we are a bit tired after the game every third or fourth day in recent weeks, Magnus Wolff Eikrem tells Eurosport after the game.

– It may be wrong to use boring, but there is something heavy and hard about us. We should have decided it in the first place, and there should have been four and five goals further, says Molde coach Erling Moe.
However, he had no chance. Eirik Hestad had two gigantic chances that both should have resulted in goals. James also had a somewhat more random opportunity. Ola Brynhildsen approached from the left side and fired a shot that went to James’ thigh and the crossbar.
But the visiting team was also dangerous up front on a couple of occasions. Sigurd Haugen had a great opportunity just over a quarter of an hour before the end when he alone with the goalkeeper put the ball off the post.
– I’m very happy with the performance, but we didn’t get anything with us. We stayed in it for 90 minutes, and it’s full-blown, Aalesund coach Lars Arne Nilsen tells Eurosport.
