– They have the quality we do not have – VG

–

– It flows well during the day. As long as I’m in front of goal, the guys will find me. We work really hard for each other, and the collective was absolutely huge today. Glimpses have not been lost here for a long time. This is not an easy team to beat, and it was tough. The defensive work must be at the bottom, we also have to achieve something when we have the ball. We did that today, says Ohi Omoijuanfo to VG.

– I think we solved this very well. Now we wanted us to be safer with the ball, but defensively it is a very good match. It’s good to be able to show it here at home. We have shown that we know this type of football in Europe, says Erling Moe to VG.

– Are you gold favorites now?

– It’s too early to talk about it. We’ve only played ten games. I think more people want to sign up, we also get to concentrate on ourselves.

Bodø / Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen has been far from used to being in the interview zone to explain himself after losses in recent years. It was a grasped, but disappointed coach VG met after the match.

– First and foremost, it is a good football match. We have it in our hollow hand in the first place, and are ready best. But then they have the quality we do not have in the box which in the end becomes crucial. It’s a bit sour, but there’s little we can do about it now, Knutsen says to VG.

– The goals we let in today will be a bit simple. That is probably what disappoints me the most, he continues.

Almost the entire first round dominated the hosts – albeit without creating too many chances. Patrick Berg thinks they deserved to get something, but will also praise Molde.

– We completely dominated them from ten minutes onwards. But we did not get to the biggest chances, and that is a lot of Molde’s honor as well. They are a good and solid team, says Berg to VG.

On one occasion, the ball hit the arm of Stian Rode Gregersen, but referee Rohit Saggi never pointed to the penalty mark.

– Bodø / Glimt will have a penalty kick, said Joacim Jonsson in Discovery’s studio.

– I tried to call it, but I had very few with me, Berg says to VG about the situation.

It was mostly “powerplay” from Bodø / Glimt’s side in the first half, but only five minutes into the second half, Ohi Omoijuanfo rose the highest and headed Molde in the lead.

Sondre Sørli, Pernambuco and several other Glimt players had great opportunities to score, but did not get the ball in goal.

A quarter of an hour before the end, Eirik Ulland Andersen knocked in a tackle on Alfons Sampsted. The knobs were lifted, but Judge Saggi only pulled out the yellow card.

– I got a real bang. Ulland told me that I was on the wrong foot, but that was not true. The referee said he was first on the ball. But I think it is a red card, says Sampsted to VG about the tackle.

– It looks ugly. It looks like he’s just speeding and driving into him. It’s the referees’ job to protect the players, but I have not seen it repeated. From my point of view, it looked ugly, says Patrick Berg.

VG made an attempt to get Eirik Ulland Andersen in the interview zone after the match, without success.

– I do not see the entrance, but I hear that he hits the ball. It was an honest attempt, says Molde coach Moe when he is asked about the tackle from VG.

Shortly afterwards, the ball was played through. Glimt goalkeeper Haikin – who was close to making a mistake on one occasion before the break – gave a return that substitute Magnus Grødem intercepted.

He played for Omoijuanfo on an open goal, which easily doubled the lead and secured the victory.
