Thus, the Canaries, who have won the cup five of the last six years, are still in the fight to get gold for the trophy cabinet this season, despite being hooked in the battle for the league gold.
– Fy søren, now it’s been a long time since we have felt that feeling, so then it will be almost extra good, says LSK captain Emilie Haavi about the victory while she grins from ear to ear.
– We play with the heart on the outside of the suit. It’s a little more the ambition I may have missed from us the rest of the season, the rawness in the duel game and that you put your soul into it. I think we do that today, she says.

The guests from Trondheim played better in the match after the previous setback, but struggled to play to the really big chances. Vanhaevermat and stopper colleague Ina Gausdal blocked and blocked away most of what came their way with good help from midfield trio Heidi Ellingsen, Isabell Bachor and Nora Eide Lie.
– I feel they have a “push” on us without them really creating anything on it. It was a real team winner for us, says Haavi.
When Haavi himself put on the turbo towards the end of the settlement, LSK was close to 2-0. She stormed down the left side before hitting hard in front of goal. RBK goalkeeper Nøstmo pushed the ball away just in front of LSK striker Sophie Román Haug.
The Canaries were apparently also cheated for a penalty kick when Ellingsen was swept into the box a quarter of an hour before full time, but referee Langnes Aarland waved the game on.
