Solskjær’s Molde Wins Norway Cup Final

The start of the Cup final was full of action. After 16 minutes, Knut Olav Rindarøy had the lead for Molde with a shot from long range. Only one minute later,  Rosenborg responded with Mikkel Diskerud, who dribbled away from a Molde player and glued the ball at the junction 1-1.

It was also the halftime score.

Start of second half was also eventful. First Molde came close to score with a good shot, which was cleared from the line. Just minutes after this position, Tore Reginussen’s header put Rosenborg ahead 2-1 in the 49th minute.

The equalizer of Molde came in the 72th minute by Jo Inge Berget, having hit a volley after a corner.

After ten minutes, Magne Hoseth brought the score to 3-2 for Molde with a free-kick goal.

In the last minute of the game, Tommy Høiland scored his team’s last goal and the match ended 4-2, bringing Molde’s  third title in three years.
