(Cast – Dundalk 3–1) If the Countess needs a new butler, she could ask Birk Risa.
Twice he served masterfully from his left-back position in the first half.
Only when he found Magnus Wolff Eikrem, who had found space on the field and nodded at Molde’s leading goal.
Then when he looked up and found Ohi Omoujuanfo on the back post, who staggered like a real bull. Molde’s win and Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Rapid Wien means they advance to the knockout rounds of the Europa League if they avoid losses or score in losses by one goal.
– I think we have put ourselves in a good situation. We also know that it is a difficult team to find there as it is now 50/50, Erling Moe tells VG at the post-match press conference.
– 50/50, are you really serious, Erling?
– It will be hard, at least we will give the iron, says Moe after a short laugh.

Risa has not only been praised for his efforts after Odd’s transfer, but after the break signal he received a well-deserved pat on the shoulder from Molde coach Erling Moe.
– It just adds self-confidence and creates even better performance. I think he has taken it very quickly, it is not easy to come here and take it immediately. A young man very fond of soccer, says Moe to VG.
Dundalk just didn’t have much to show for at Aker Stadium, and Martin Ellingsen was the baron of cleaner air when he stabbed the 3-0 midway through the second half.
Molde used his head three times and VIPs the match was decided. In the second half, they had fun at the Aker Stadium, and both could and should have scored more goals against the toothless visiting team.
– If I put my finger on something, I would like some more goals. But we will win again in a controlled way in Europe, says Moe at the press conference.

Annoying and damn
Sheriff Sinyan missed a great opportunity against Arsenal last week, and he would be no worse against Dundalk. The goal was left open after the end of “Ohi”, but the stopper threw the ball out from very close.
Flores jingled alongside him with an incredible shot from 25 meters at the end of extra time and decorated the result in Molde. Moe admits that the goal made him “nag and curse” for a short time.
However, that means little. El Molde qualifies for the next round of the Europa League if they avoid defeats in the Austrian capital next week, or lose by one goal and score.
The national emergency team is clear to them.
