(HamKam – Aalesund 2–1) HamKam picked up three very important points in the bottom leg against Aalesund. They can thank Sten Grytebust (33) for that.
With the score at 1–1 at Briskeby, a cross found its way into the field for Aalesund. It looked like Grytebust would have complete control of the post, but then he lost the ball.
– I feel that I have good control, then it slips out of my hands. It shouldn’t have happened, but it did, the former national team goalkeeper told TV 2 and concluded:
– When it’s 1-1, it’s decisive. Of course it’s sad.
That served 20-year-old Halvor Opsahl, who was given the easiest job in the world to send the home team into the lead. His first goal at A-team level.
– This is absolutely fantastic, we have been working for a long time. It’s finally settled, the winner of the match told TV 2.
On a slap in the face, Aalesund sent in Grytebust for a corner, but the keeper was unable to make amends on his own. In doing so, HamKam achieved their first win since April.
With three points, HamKam is ahead of Aalesund who is in last place. HamKam are in the qualifying spots, three points ahead of Aalesund and two ahead of Sandefjord, who have played two games fewer.
– They’re in the swamp. It’s more important to win, says Opsahl of the importance of winning.
The home team is the favorite team throughout the game. In the first half, HamKam created several good chances without putting the ball in the net.
However, Henrik Dulul did it after 65 minutes with a fine score. The attacker receives the ball to the right. There he pulled himself in, and with his left foot he curled the ball beautifully around the corner.
Just minutes later, Markus Karlsbakk equalized. The midfielder took a direct shot from 16 meters and steered the ball into the corner.
At the end of the game, the same guy just hit the post to make it 2-2. Unfortunately for Karlsbakk, it didn’t help that he scored in his third game in a row.
Aalesund have lost all their away games this year.
