(Start – Haugesund 5-1) Two own goals from Ulrik Fredriksen were some of the things that ensured Start took three very important points against a toothless Haugesund.
And all three points were useful for Start. This was not the case for opponent Haugesund, who is now just four points ahead of Start who is in the qualifying spot. Another who was not very happy with the result is Mjøndalen coach Vegard Hansen.
He visited Eurosports Football Direct, which follows the round. Mjøndalen is in direct descent, the place behind Start in the table. When the Southerners took the lead, he couldn’t contain his feelings.

– Damn it, was the only word Hansen got when the goal came.

And it came after a communication failure in Haugesund’s defense. A hard, low post came in front of the goal, and Ulrik Fredriksen slipped into his own goal. If the midfielder had let him go, goalkeeper Helge Sandvik would have collected the ball without pressure and firmly.
Fredrik Pallesen Knudsen was clear on what he thought of the game when he spoke to Eurosport.
– We are terrible. It doesn’t look like we’re going to play soccer at all. Completely useless. We have now signed up for this background battle, Pallesen Knudsen tells Eurosport, who adds:
– When you play for Haugesund, you have to bleed from the suit, and neither of us did today.

A few minutes after the first goal, he narrowed again. And once again after a mistake by the visiting team. Alexander Stølås gave the ball to Thore Baardsen Pedersen who lost the ball in the middle. Mohamed El Makrini picked up and hit the ball into the near corner.
And then things got worse for Jostein Grindhaug’s men when Eirik Schulze scored 3-0 after just over half an hour of play.
In the second half, it was Haugesund who had to cheer first. After 53 minutes, Ibrahima Wadji sent the corner kick to the right of Haugesund, who headed hard over the goalkeeper. But not long after, it narrowed on the opposite end again. Christian Bolaños threw a corner kick to Schulze’s forehead that stabbed Start to 4-1.

– We can celebrate tonight. There has been a lack of efficiency throughout the season, but then we got a redemptive effect today, Start coach Joey Hardarson smiles at Eurosport after the deal.
Jostein Grindhaug was not in a good mood when he met the right-hand starter after the game.
– Today, Start loves him more than we do. He was male against junior throughout the match and it is disappointing, says the FKH coach.
