Rosenborg 3-0 Kristiansund result, stats and report

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.

Rosenborg led at half-time but Bodø / Glimt turned the match completely on its head after the break, with Fredrik Bjørkan scoring twice and Andreas Helmersen adding a brace to seal a commanding 4-2 home win in the Norwegian Eliteserien.

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.

Rosenborg dismantled HamKam with a commanding 4-0 victory at home, with Amin Chiakha scoring twice and Emil Konradsen Ceide opening the scoring inside the first minute. HamKam never competed and rarely threatened.

Rosenborg host a Sandefjord side carrying a battered injury and suspension list on Saturday, and the home side's dominant recent record in Trondheim makes this a match with real conviction behind 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.
