(Molde – Arsenal 0-3) When Molde faced Arsenal at the Emirates, they lost 1-4 after a good first half. In Molde, the local team also started well, but lost again after a different second round.
Molde opened the game fresh against Arsenal at the Aker Stadium, and for the first 45 minutes it was the team that came closest to scoring. Especially on an opportunity from midfielder Sheriff Sinyan.
Magnus Wolff Eikrem scored from the penalty spot, placing the ball near the upper left corner. Sinyan arrived there in a rush to the ground, but from two meters he could not get the ball into the goal. The shot came from the back post and ended on the clips of Arsenal’s Icelandic goalkeeper, Runar Runarsson, who was at the opposite post.
In the second half, however, Arsenal became too strong and eventually won 3-0 over Molde.
– I’m proud that we got out here and really tried. Unfortunately, we are not good enough, but these are things we must learn quickly, says Molde coach Erling Moe after the game.

The entire Molde field also yelled a penalty after a corner kick after thinking that an end was illegally blocked with an arm. Television footage showed David Luiz out with one arm and in clear contact with the ball.
– I do not know. I haven’t seen him since, Moe answers questions about the criminal situation.
– We have too much pressure in the second half, and they get too much space and create too much. But he stops and leans a bit, at 2-1 we should score with a good chance. When we have 3-1 to the face, it gets heavy on the outside. We will be the number too small in the second half, Erling Moe told VG at the digital press conference after his previous match against Arsenal.
And as in the previous agreement between the two teams, he turned around after the change of sides.
Five minutes into the second half, Nicolas Pépé received the ball at the back post. At 6-7 meters, the edge gracefully placed the ball in the furthest corner at 1-0 for Arsenal.

Five minutes later, 20-year-old Reiss Nelson made it 2-0 for the London squad before substitute Folarin Balogun rose to 3-0 after 83 minutes.
Thus, it ended once again with Molde’s defeat against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
Arsenal now top the table after four rounds. They stand with the pot full after victory in all their matches. Molde follows behind with two wins and six points. Rapid Wien and Dundalk play their match at 9:00 p.m. on the same night. Then Rapid Wien will move Molde to the table if they win their away match against Dundalk.
– It will be interesing. Now we will see how it goes in Ireland. We just get all the distance. We knew beforehand that it would be between us and Rapid for second place, so it looks like it will be a race to the finish, says Moe.
