Lillestrøm played against ten men in almost an entire round, but did not succeed in defeating Raufoss at home.
Lillestrøm had to settle for 2-2 and one point at home against Raufoss on Monday, despite the guests being reduced to ten men early in the second half.
Marius Alm and Gard Simenstad scored the goals for the guests, while Torbjørn Kallevåg and Thomas Lehne Olsen made sure that LSK got one point.
– Can not understand that it works
In Eurosport’s studio, expert Joacim Jonsson sat and reacted strongly to the defensive game the hosts kept up with when Raufoss put in 2-1 with one player less on the field.
– There is no one nearby. It’s so bad, miserable, ass defensive play by Lillestrøm. It is almost deserved that they lose when they do so. I can not understand that it works. These are elite league players, Jonsson said.

A quarter of an hour had been played at Åråsen when the guests from Raufoss were awarded a penalty kick when Kristoffer Nessø was fouled inside the LSK box.
Marius Alm was safe from eleven meters and lifted the ball in the middle of the goal, while goalkeeper Mads Hedenstad Christiansen threw himself to the right.

A few minutes later, it was the hosts who were awarded a penalty kick after Simen Rafn was fouled. Torbjørn Kallevåg was just as safe as Alm and put the ball safely in the corner, even though goalkeeper Ole Kristian Lauvli went the same way

Reduced to ten men
After 52 minutes, the same Lauvli was sent off after cutting down Thomas Lehne Olsen far outside the penalty area, when the LSK striker was played free in the back room.
Raufoss thus had to play the last 38 minutes of the match with one man less. Still, it was the twins who proved most dangerous in front of goal.
Half time the second half was played when Matias Belli Moldskred got the ball out on the left side. He hit the ball into Gard Simenstad, who headed in 1-2 at Åråsen.
After 86 minutes of play, the equalizer came for LSK. The ball was rolled up on the left, where Simen Kind Mikalsen hit low and hard in front of goal to Lehne Olsen, who could easily wide side in 2-2 in open goal.
Lillestrøm is thus placed in ninth place in the OBOS league, eight points behind Ranheim in direct promotion place.
