In 2005, Lillestrøm SK found itself in a difficult situation, having struggled to find form in the previous seasons. The team was languishing near the bottom of the table, and it looked like they could risk relegation. But hope came in the form of a new coach, Henning Berg, who took over in May. Berg, a former player for the club, had a vision to rebuild the team and restore the pride of the Kanarifuglene.

Berg's arrival led to an immediate transformation. The playing style became more offensive, focusing on quick attacks and solid defensive organization. The players responded positively to Berg's approach, and it quickly became clear that the team had gained new energy. Over the next few matches, Lillestrøm began to collect points and climb up the table.

One of the most memorable matches came against FK Lyn. In an intense local derby, Lillestrøm managed to take the victory with a 2-1 scoreline, not only securing three crucial points but also significantly boosting their confidence. This became a turning point for the season, and it was clear that Lillestrøm SK was on the rise again.

Lillestrøm continued to impress throughout the season, securing a solid 4th place in the Tippeligaen. This was a significant achievement for the club, which just months earlier had seemed to be in crisis. Berg's leadership and the players' efforts resulted in a season that would be remembered as one of the most inspiring in the club's history.

By the end of the season, Lillestrøm SK was known for its strong team spirit and ability to overcome adversity. The supporters, who had always been loyal, were now able to see their team play with pride and passion again. The 2005 season became not just a rescue, but also a testament to what can be achieved with belief, hard work, and unity. Lillestrøm SK's resurrection in 2005 will forever stand as a symbol of the club's strength and resilience.
