- Norway 1-1 Serbia (1-2 after extra innings)
ULLEVAAL (Dagbladet): Here TV 2 commentator Øyvind Alsaker (55) leaves Ullevaal Stadium last night.
Beforehand, TV 2 expected more than a million viewers and a Norwegian match against Serbia. It ended in a Norwegian failure. And a shattered dream at the European Championship.
The commentator’s profile did not skimp on treats when he met Dagbladet outside the national arena after the live broadcast. On the scoreboard, Serbia was 2-1. They now face Scotland in the playoff final.
– Horrible. Disappointing. Bad from start to finish. Once again, we see a Norwegian fall over the finish line, says Alsaker.

– Norway met a good Serbian team. Absolutely. But that there is a double-digit number of times against is very unusual for a Lagerbäck team. It is very disappointing.
– And, Alsaker continues:
– We were looking forward to seeing Martin Ødegaard, Erling Braut Haaland and Alexander Sørloth together for the first time. That they got so little is actually a bit surprising.

Alsaker’s voice was heard in the stands as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic sent Serbia up 2-1 after 102 minutes.
When the television lights went out, he continued his professional soccer outburst:
– It was a very bad Norwegian team. The tactics. The game of duel. The treatment of the ball. All. I felt like we were second best in all areas, he says.
Get off, Lagerbäck!
– It was a collective failure. But you also saw Haitam Aleesami’s problems with Lazovic, which lasted 105 minutes. It was amazing. I think it hit 14 posts. That this was not possible to adjust on the way, I find it very strange.
The playoffs of the European Championship are over. But Norway will face Romania in the Nations League already on Sunday.
– Nations League is a great tournament and all that. But that’s what the collection was all about. It will be difficult for the team to get up. And it will be difficult for the Norwegian people to find enthusiasm.
– And, Alsaker continues:
– Here and now is a bottomless disappointment.
The Stock Market: Massacre
Lars Lagerbäck did not pack his words when he arrived at the press conference around midnight. In the Dagbladet online newspaper, the verdict was brutal:
– Get off, wrote Dagbladet commentator Morten P, right after the game. It’s a commentary that quickly sets the pace and tone for the next few days.
Lagerbäck has a contract until 2022. At the press conference, he was asked if the loss changes anything.
– If the employer thinks that I should not lead the team, or that I come to this myself, I have no problem leaving. It will show the future, he replied.
– I will not retire tonight, at least, but make sure you get two wins in the next matches.
Alsaker believes that Lagerbäck is still the right man:
– Yes, I would say that. After all, there have been good results. But it is clear that the technical team must also be evaluated after this. This was the second bad international match in a row at Ullevaal. We received a wake-up call against Austria. That we became equally uncomfortable now surprises me. But I’m not looking for the head of the coach. So I think you have done too well over a long period of time.
Not much was said in the Norwegian dressing room last night.
– Right now it’s very heavy, says striker Mathias Normann.
