Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Molde FK to score. At the same time, KI does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Molde FK seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 17' Kristian Eriksen puts Molde FK on the lead.
  • 22' Vegard Forren needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 27' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 42' It looks like no one’s ball. Molde FK is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' Another substitution for KI to replace Claes Kronberg by Patrick da Silva on 46 minute.
  • 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sivert Mannsverk suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Molde FK needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' Ola Brynhildsen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 64' It’s a booking for KI player. Luc Kassi gets a card.
  • 69' Molde FK manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Veton Berisha is hanging Magnus Eikrem on the field on 69 minute.
  • 74' KI is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 79' The whistle greets Deni Pavlovic as he departs to be replaced by Mads Mikkelsen.
  • 81' It is a substitution in Molde FK team. Emil Breivik is replaced by Markus Kaasa on 81 minute.
  • 86' It’s gonna be a card for Kristian Eriksen.
  • Another three points for Molde FK.
