Lillestrøm 1-2 Kristiansund result, stats and report

Real Sociedad dismantled Lillestrøm 6-0 in the UEFA Europa League, with Sergio Gómez scoring twice inside the opening half hour and Luka Sucic adding a brace to complete a night Lillestrøm will want to forget quickly.

Sparta Praha dominated from start to finish but could not hold on, as Thomas Lehne Olsen equalised in stoppage time to earn Lillestrøm a 1-1 draw in the UEFA Europa League.

Viking were comfortable and ruthless at home, putting three past Lillestrøm without reply. Lillestrøm had the ball but did absolutely nothing useful with it.

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.

Two sides with identical three-match Europa League samples and serious questions to answer. Thursday evening at Lillestrøm could go several ways, and not many of them are comfortable for either manager.

Lillestrøm welcome Real Sociedad to Thursday's Europa League fixture carrying more recent evidence than their visitors. Neither side can afford another slip.

Sandefjord have won just once in their last ten Eliteserien matches and face a Lillestrøm side that has won two of their last three. Something has to give on Sunday afternoon.

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.
