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.

Molde 1 - 2 Rosenborg
Three Swedish goal scorers (Runström, Prica and Lustig) in this snowballfight. Molde scored first, but Rosenborg improved a lot in the second half, and did what they needed to bring 3 points home to Trondheim.



Vålerenga 2 - 0 Viking
Two long range shots from Moa Abdoulaue, one with his left and one with his right foot. Not the best debut for Viking keeper Jarstein

League Prediction: 1st place


Rosenborg. (Last year: 1st in Tippeligaen)
+ The strongest squad, quality in all parts of the team.
+ The best defence in the league, including two of the best backs(Lustig and Dorsin), the three best central defenders(Demidov, Lago and Stadsgaard) and the very promising Simen Wangberg
+ Good players on the bench including a couple of young talents who have impressed during the pre season, (Sellin, Åsen, Bakenga, Wangsberg and Henriksen)
+ Has bought three good players: Moldskred(attack), Winsnes(Midfield) and Örlund(GK).

- Manager Erik Hamren will leave in August, and Rosenborg has still not found a replacement. Romour has it they are going to wait until Stabæk's manager is a free agent, but how will a temporary manager affect the players?
- There is also a change that some key players will leave during the winter. Skjelbred, Demidov and Annan are wanted by several clubs.

Player to watch:
Gjermund Åsen(18yrs) has impressed both as a winger and central midfield in the pre season games, and could be the next great Rosenborg player.

League Prediction: 2nd place


Molde (Last year: 2nd in the league and the cup)
+ Jonevret is another great swedish manager.
+ Pape Pate Diouf has been good during the winter, as he has stepped out of the shadow of Mame Biram Diouf.
+ Thioune was brilliant in 2009, will he follow up? He has also had some groin problems this winter...
+ Dahle, Strandhagen, Meidell, Stamnestrø and Mame Diouf's little brother Mbar are some of the interesting talents in the squad.
+ Holm and Hoseth are solid central midfields.

- Jose Mota is on loan to Suwon Samsung Bluewings and M Diouf was sold to Manchester United.
- Goalkeeper Dørum Lilleback is injured, but Molde has borrowed Man United reserves keeper Ben Amos.
- Lacks good back up for the central defenders (Steen and Forren), Forren is likely to move to a bigger club this summer.

Player to watch:
Djibi Fall(on loan) looks like he is going to be another great Senegalese, like the two Dioufs and Makhtar Thioune. However, Molde will have to adopt their game a bit, as Fall is not the same type of striker as Mame.
