Kristiansund 1-2 Start result, stats and report

Rosenborg made it a comfortable afternoon in Kristiansund, winning 3-1 with goals from Mads Bomholt, Noah Sahsah, and Amin Chiakha to underline the gulf in quality between the two sides.

Viking dismantled Kristiansund 8-1 in a performance that was as complete as it was brutal, with Erik Botheim and a relentless collective effort leaving the visitors with nowhere to hide.

HamKam led twice at Briskeby but Kristiansund refused to lie down, with substitute Danilo Al-Saed equalising in the 73rd minute to earn a point that neither side fully deserved.

L. Alvheim scored twice as Kristiansund ground out a controlled 2-0 home win against a Tromsø side that had more of the ball but created nothing of note. The result was built on defensive organisation and a willingness to compete.

Kristiansund host Aalesund on Saturday with both sides mired in poor form and leaking goals at an alarming rate. Connor Maguire gives you the straight version.

Kristiansund host Rosenborg on Saturday carrying serious defensive wounds, while the visitors arrive with seven wins from their last ten in the Eliteserien. This one looks like it has a result written all over it.

Bodø / Glimt arrive at this fixture having won all five of their most recent Eliteserien matches and with a Kristiansund squad decimated by injury. This is a test of basics, not tactics.

Viking sit second in the Eliteserien with the title still in their sights, but a mounting injury list and a difficult recent run make Sunday's home fixture against a struggling Kristiansund more complicated than the table suggests.
