Lillestrøm SK was packed with blue and yellow supporters on Sunday. For the first time in three years, Vålerenga hosted their arch-rivals Lillestrøm. In the end, it was the guests who could celebrate. The match ended 2-0 to Lillestrøm. But it didn't happen without drama. The match was stopped several times, including in the second half. The reason was that both teams' supporters lit flares and fireworks. The players were sent back to the locker room, but the match was restarted after a five-minute break. Lillestrøm SK's supporters had also been victims of theft before the match. Large parts of their tifo were stolen the night before. The yellow fans believe that Vålerenga supporters are behind it. Lillestrøm Sportsklubb writes on their website that they strongly condemn the theft. They urge their own supporters to support the team and refrain from any revenge actions. Manager Nilssen says that the police have a good cooperation with the clubs. He adds that there will be a lot of visible police at the arena. The home team also does its part to ensure that the derby goes safely and well. They set up a logistics that limits the mixing of both teams' supporters. Away supporters are, for example, asked to travel with designated buses from Lillestrøm. If they take the subway, they are not allowed to get off at Helsfyr. Instead, they must get off at Hasle. Vålerenga supporters are not allowed to be on the bus stop at Valle Hovin. When the 16,555 tickets were put up for sale, it took just under an hour for all to be sold out. Those who got tickets were advised to arrive early. Kickoff was at 14:30 on Sunday afternoon. The gates opened at 13:00. To ensure that everyone gets in on time, we are issuing a strong warning to arrive early. That's what Vålerenga writes on their website. If you arrive later than an hour before the match starts, you are not guaranteed to get into the stadium before kickoff.
