What happened in the match?
Bodø/Glimt started strongly and took the lead after 17 minutes when Ole Didrik Blomberg scored a penalty. Sondre Brunstad Fet made it 2-0 with an acrobatic scissor kick after a poor clearance from Stian Kristiansen. Jens Petter Hauge added a third in the second half, while Markus Karlsbakk rounded off the score with an own goal.
- It was a raw performance from us. We played with an intensity and tempo that Lillestrøm couldn’t keep up with, said goalscorer Jens Petter Hauge to VG.
Why is this important for Lillestrøm SK?
Lillestrøm SK missed the chance to climb the table and remain in 4th place. The match also exposed weaknesses in their defensive play, especially after Stian Kristiansen was substituted. With Eric Kitolano still sidelined, Lillestrøm SK need to find solutions to improve before their next game.
What comes next?
Lillestrøm SK must now prepare to face Molde in the next round of Eliteserien. With Bodø/Glimt as a strong opponent, Lillestrøm SK will train hard to avoid a similar performance.
