Vålerenga – Rosenborg 0-0

Rosenborg managed to create one or two chances, and if it wasn't for Lars Hirschfeldt's saves they would have won, however, none of the teams managed to entertain the 17000 in the stands, as the pitch looked more suited for growing potatoes than playing football.

Results from the 2nd round

Stabæk - Vålerenga 1-1
Not only did Kristoffer Hæstad score, he also blocked a shot on the goal line.
Stabæk's goal came in the 50th minute, when Pontus Farnerud showed great vision and class and passed perfecly to Johan Andersson, who had no problems in placing the ball behind Lars Hirschfeldt.


Kongsvinger - Odd 1-2


Hønefoss - Aalesund 0-2
Demar Philips scored two, and Aalesund are on top of the league with 6 points.


Haugesund - Strømsgodset 2-2


Lillestrøm - Tromsø 2-0
Tromsø hardly created anyhing, while LSK only needed 13 minutes to score two. Arild Sundgot scored the first on a pass from Anthony Ujah, before Ujah minutes later scored on a pass from Sundgot.

Sandefjord - Molde 3-1:
Molde had the lead at half time, but Sandefjord surprised after the break, and scored three in 17 minutes. Last year's silver winners have now lost their two first matches in the season.

Viking - Brann 4-0
Embarrasing result for Brann in this Vestland-derby, however, Viking scored a couple of beautiful goals, Ingelsten took it down on his chest before placing it behind Opdal, Ødegård and Nisja both scored on volley and the last goal came when Andreas a pass from Ulland Andersen(who had a great match as replacement for Sokolowski) found Birkir Bjarnason's head, who could score the last goal of the match.


Rosenborg - Start 3-3
A brillant pass from Steffen Iversen led to a penalty when Rade Prica was tackled by Bård Borgersen, and Rosenborg had the lead 1-0, but Roseborg's defensive line was unable to communicate, and Start could fool the offside trap again and again. Christer Kleiven did also score a candidate for goal of the year, with a howler from 20 meters. However, Steffen Iversen created great chances in attack, and Trond Olsen could score two equalizers for Rosenborg, and the very exciting match ended 3-3.
