 Norwegian Cup Semifinals:
 =========================

5/9:

Lillestroem		Kongsvinger		1 - 0 (0-0)	6.200
1 - 0 Tom Gulbrandsen (87)

- The score should have been something like 3-2 or 4-3 not 'only' 1-0.
  A very entertaining match shown live on national TV. LSK won
  after dominating the first half but faded in the second. When 
  everybody expected extra-time Gulbrandsen popped up and scored on
  a rebound from the excellent KIL-keeper Holtan. 30 seconds from time
  Kongsvinger should have equalised when a thunderous half-volley shot
  from topscorer Kaasa hit the underside of the crossbar. I guess the
  goal is still shaking.

6/9:

Rosenborg		Viking			2 - 1 (1-0) a.e.t. 18.909
1 - 0 G.Soerloth (15)
1 - 1 S.Solberg (68)
2 - 1 Roar Strand (116)

- Again Rosenborg have qualified themselves for another Cup-final at
  Ullevaal. This time it happened in dramatic (and lucky ...) fashion.
  After dominating the first half hour completely and getting the lead on
  a fine header by Soerloth, they let Viking into the match especially
  in the second half. The equaliser came as no surprise to the home
  crowd. The scorer was the shortest player on the field, Sander Solberg
  , a player who can go very far. The rest of normal time was pretty 
  even with few clear chances. In extra-time RBK dominated the first 
  15 min., but after 5 min. of the second period Viking had a goal
  disallowed for offside. A mistake by the linesman according to the
  Viking players, and the TV-pictures did point in that direction although
  it was difficult to be 100% sure. Anyway 4 min. from time the sub
  Strand scored with a low shot inside the box after a cross by Dahlum
  which was only halfcleared by the defence. So we all avoided a replay
  and that was maybe the best since nobody could figure out when this
  replay should have taken place as both RBK and Viking have to play in
  Europe this month and have several players on the national team as well,
  a team which begins its WC-campaign on Wed. against San Marino and then
  take on the Netherlands on the 23rd of Sept. A short report on 
  Thursday.

   The final between Lillestroem and Rosenborg will be played on
  Sunday 25th of October at Ullevaal in front of a capacity crowd !!

Bottom three:

Odd		18  6 4  8 27-37 22	Os		18  5 4  9 19-32 19
Pors		18  4 5  9 20-39 17	Stj|rdals/Blink	18  5 4  9 28-44 19
Fredrikstad	18  1 5 12 11-35  8	Haugar		18  3 0 15 23-61  9

 Fredrikstad are now mathematically certain to be relegated to the
third highest Norwegian league (2nd div.) for the FIRST time in their
history (snuff..). This week the first team to get promotion from the
2nd div. was known as well. Mj|lner from Narvik bounces straight back
to the first after beeing relegated last year and with a very impressive
record of 17 wins in 18 matches !!.
