- Strømsgodset – Bodø / Glimt 1-2
It was a clearly excited Glimt coach, Kjetil Knutsen, who attended the Eurosport interview after the match.
– It’s a great day, I’m excited. It has been quite a club that has worked in the same direction for a long, long time, Knutsen said.
– We will enjoy this delicious sensation. This has been absolutely unique. I feel like we’ve moved the border for both ourselves and Norwegian football, Captain Ulrik Saltnes smiled.
This is the first time that a northern Norwegian club has won league gold. It also happens the day that Tromsø climbed back up to the Elite Series.
Sleep start
The points were enough to secure the gold on Sunday, and already after just over three minutes, the nerves were able to calm down.
Philip Zinckernagel dribbled down the right and hit the post. Inside in front of the goal, Kasper Junker slipped on the slippery ground, but lying down managed to put Glimt in the lead.
After just over ten minutes, Zicnkernagel did it himself. He splashed the nets in the bottom corner from a distance and made it 2-0. Then the golden calm had settled over Glimt’s team.
– it’s a real pleasure
Guardian in great shape
After that, the hosts took more control at Marienlyst and had great opportunities to reduce, but Nikita Khajkin made several great saves from behind.
However, when there were six minutes of full time left, there was some excitement. Valdimar Thor Ingimundarson made the reduction, but Strømsgodset had nothing else to offer.
Glimt has been completely superior this season. Below Molde in second place, there are 18 points with five games to play.
But it will be a strange celebration.
Key players Patrick Berg and Marius Lode are under quarantine in Oslo. They were part of the national team team and were close contacts with Omar Elabdellaoui, who tested positive first, before they tested positive for crown themselves later.
Coach Kjetil Knutsen took the opportunity to greet the duo before the match.
In addition, midfielder Brede Moe came out with an injury, while perhaps the best player of all this season, Jens Petter Hauge, sat on the AC Milan bench against Napoli when he secured the gold. When his teammates popped champagne in the locker room, he was replaced in the big game.
In extra time, he punctured the game to 3-1. For a dream evening for both Hauge and all of Bodø.

The real estate crisis
For Godset, on the other hand, it will be a stressful fall. The 2013 league champions are on both legs in the battle for relegation.
After Start won earlier on Sunday, they are in qualifying with 24 points. There are four points less for archrival Mjøndalen in direct descent, but only one for Brann and Start in a safe place.
