Lillestrøm SK had a tough match against Mjøndalen at Consto Arena, but managed to turn the game around and secure one point. Mjøndalen had full control over Lillestrøm in one half, but a very poor second half ensured that the canary yellows got away with one point. Coach Jörgen Lennartsson took action already at halftime when he made three substitutions, and especially Arnor Smarason would prove to be very important after the break. The Icelander was the second last on the ball when Tobias Salquist reduced to 1-2, and after 77 minutes the 30-year-old was central again when the LSK team equalized to 2-2 and saved a point. Lillestrøm struggled throughout the first half with duels and physical play, but after the break it was a different story. LSK coach Jörgen Lennartsson was in better spirits after his triple substitution at halftime really paid off. He chose to bring in both Fredrik Krogstad, Kristoffer Ødemarksbakken and Arnor Smarason, and used up all his substitutions. However, it was the hosts who opened the game best, and already after 12 minutes the home crowd had to get up from their seats in Mjøndalen. Sondre Liseth was heavily involved initially and got a great chance within 16 meters, but the winger's shot went over. Jörgen Lennartsson chose to spare captain Frode Kippe on the artificial turf in Buskerud, but the Swede could have used the midfielder's duel strength in what became a physically tough battle. The hosts continued to drive the game before halftime, and Liseth got a new opportunity after 16 minutes when he waited inside the field. The 21-year-old won the duel, but the header went straight into the arms of LSK goalkeeper Marko Maric. However, it was only a warning of what was to come for Maric. After the game, Christian Gauseth was strongly critical of both himself and his teammates' performance after halftime. He describes his team's second half as «cowardly» after throwing away what seemed to be three welcome points. LSK coach Jörgen Lennartsson was in better spirits after his triple substitution at halftime really paid off. He said that there was a certain gamble about whether there would be any injuries, but this time it went well. We have to be satisfied, and I think we went for the 3-2 goal, so we can be happy with the second half. The first half we can just forget. And it was a great relief for Lillestrøm SK that they managed to turn the game around and secure one point. But Mjøndalen was disappointed to have thrown away the win. So Lillestrøm SK can now look forward to the next game with new hope.
