Molde FK won a seven-goal thriller 4-3 away at Vålerenga IF in the Eliteserien. The visitors took the lead early through Eirik Hestad, but Vålerenga turned the game around with two quick goals before a Molde burst before half-time settled the contest.
Hestad opened the scoring on 11 minutes, Lucas Haren levelled on 19 and Mathias Grundetjern put Vålerenga ahead two minutes later. Sondre Milian Granaas equalised on 30, Jalal Abdullai restored Molde's lead on 40 and Caleb Zady Sery made it 4-2 on the stroke of half-time. Carl Lange pulled one back in first-half stoppage time, but Molde held on after the break.
Molde were clinical, turning nine shots on target into four goals from fourteen attempts. Vålerenga had more total shots, 21 to 14, and a slightly higher expected-goals figure of 1.80 to 1.73, but Molde's goalkeeper made five saves to keep them ahead. Five bookings punctuated the match, with yellow cards for Ivan Näsberg, Emil Breivik, Aaron Kiil Olsen, Sondre Milian Granaas and Mathias Grundetjern.
