Outstanding performance
Rosenborg•MidfielderRosenborg wasted absolutely no time in asserting their authority, with Adrian Pereira and Emil Konradsen Ceide scoring in the 10th and 13th minutes respectively to put the tie beyond any realistic doubt before Fredrikstad had found their footing. The statistics tell the full story of the gulf between the sides: Rosenborg registered 23 shots to Fredrikstad's six, created five big chances to none, and held 73 points of dominance to their opponents' 40. Fredrikstad's goalkeeper was one of the more active figures on the pitch with six saves, but the visitors were never genuinely threatening going forward, mustering just three shots on target and relying almost entirely on a lone counter-attack as their attacking outlet. Amin Chiakha added a third in the 77th minute to kill any lingering hope before Iver Fossum put a fourth past the Fredrikstad keeper in the dying minutes, cementing a result that lifts Rosenborg's Eliteserien campaign and leaves Fredrikstad, who offered little going forward, with serious questions to answer about their ability to compete at this level.
How entertaining was this match?
