HAUGESUND (VG) (Haugesund – Aalesund 0-1) A dream match from Niklas Castro and Gudmund Kongshavn in great form ensured that Lars Arne Nilsen could cheer on his first points as Aalesund coach.
– I wish you could be in the locker room after the game. I don’t remember seeing those scenes before, Nilsen tells VG after the game.
And based on the celebration, it was a long-awaited goal for the gang in Aalesund. Niklas Castro swept the ball into the goal in a pleasant manner after a poor clearance by Kevin Krygård of Haugesund.

– It is indescribably wonderful to win today, and that gives us a lot of emotions. Absolutely fantastic, absolutely beautiful, says Castro to VG.
And when a fit Gudmund Kongshavn saved Niklas Strandberg’s penalty and kept Aalesund’s cage clean, the Aalesund team was able to unleash the jubilation for this year’s second win – and their first three points since July 29.
– Actually, he was quite upset. There was an euphoric mood in the dressing room, and it means a lot to be successful. We have experienced that we have worked very hard without getting anything for it, says Kongshavn hoarse and emotional to VG – who emphasizes that he does not want to cry on VGTV.
He finally snapped a nine-game losing streak.
Burned various options
But it was the home team that best opened with the terrible wind on the day of terror in Haugesund. There was no Halloween atmosphere at Haugesund Stadium, but not too far away either.
Haugesund was at least terribly close a couple of times in the first half, but a good Gudmund Kongshavn ensured that Aalesund went into the break with zero goals against.
The same applied to Haugesund as well, because Aalesund’s offense was clearly not what the away team was targeting. But Haugesunder Sigurd Haugen, who was alone at the top, provided some good opportunities.

Questionable penalty situations
The match had only 14 minutes when the aforementioned Haugen went to the ground, and all of Aalesund screamed for a penalty kick. Benjamin Tiedemann Hansen tried to protect the ball from goalkeeper Helge Sandvik, but the midfielder had Haugen on his back.
The forward bet everything, and everything seemed like a clash between the three players. However, television footage showed that it could appear that Sandvik shot down Haugen.
A quarter of an hour after the second half, referee Tore Hansen pointed to the chalk mark. Mikkel Desler ran to the right and walked to the ground. Television footage showed Frederikus Klinkenberg running over the Dane, but the Aalesund camp clearly disagreed.
There was a penalty anyway, and it was the normally confident penalty taker Niklas Sandberg. This time, however, he followed the gatekeeper’s path. Kongshavn leaned to his left and saved the Haugesund player’s attempt.
– Today we did not get anything, his goalkeeper has “game of the year” and is a bit typical of us. They lie down and you get mad, Kristoffer Velde tells VG.
– I feel like they are robbing us, but all the credit goes to Aalesund, says Fredrik Pallesen Knudsen.
