- Aalesund 1-2 Rosenborg
Åge Hareide and Rosenborg go for silver in the Eliteserien after a good period and the collapse of Molde.
On Sunday night, Aalesund was the opponent at the Color Line Stadium. And it started well for the Trondheim guests.
Both young men, Emil Konradsen Ceide and Edvard Tagseth, built their trust from the start. But it was Kristoffer Zachariassen who set the standard for the evening.
He jingled a long shot from outside the penalty area four minutes before the break. The ball went in the direction of the cross, and it was a goal from the top shelf.
Aalesund drew with Sigurd Haugen in the 62nd minute. It was played very well, he arrived only with goalkeeper André Hansen and put the ball in the goal.
Aalesund disallowed an offside goal. That made coach Lars Arne Nilsen despair on the sidelines.
Instead, Rosenborg was up 2-1 in the minutes after. It was a comic type score. Samuel Adegbenro put in front of goal. The ball passed through Fredrik Carlsen to Kristoffer Zachariassen. The first shot went straight to goalkeeper Andreas Lie. But the return certainly put Zachariassen in goal.
Aalesund never managed to come back and thus there were three new points for Rosenborg. The team jumped to second place in the table.
Sunday’s victory could be the start of a dream week for Rosenborg. After the match, it was clear that Markus Henriksen had decided to return to the club. He has signed a contract that runs until the end of 2024.
Deceived by victory
On Thursday, PSV Eindhoven awaits in the playoffs in Lerkendal. The winner proceeds to the group stage of the Europa League.
– We did what we came to look for: we got three points. It wasn’t the most pleasant way. But we take the points anyway, says match winner Zachariassen to Eurosport.
– How important were the three points?
– They were crucial. Now we have signed up at the top. We must build on the positive. There was a bit to tackle here, he admits to Eurosport.
