  • 85' Goal! Pal Helland scores his 3 goal in 176 matches.
  • 90' 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 Even Hovland suffering a number of foals already.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 4-0.
