Regrets about Ronaldo’s celebration: – Few
Adrian Pereira gave Rosenborg a great start to the season, when he fired in a half-volley from 16 meters after less than an hour against the Vikings.
– This is done very, very well by Pereira, concludes TV 2 expert Simen Stamsø Møller.
After the goal, there was a bit of excitement in the celebration.
– I think I’ll be Richarlison, and I think I’m fine. Then I thought it was going to be a little small, so I did one more loop. Then I did the Ronaldo celebration, and I regretted it. It was trivial, Pereira told NRK.
Pereira also has a past in Vikings. That’s why today’s match-winning score feels so good.
– That’s good. I once scored an own goal against the Vikings. Now I have scored both goals for RBK. It’s great to bring something back again.
It was a close battle and even on a poor Lerkendal mat, it was the visiting Vikings who created the biggest chances in the first half.
Lars Jørgen Salvesen put the ball on the crossbar, while Zlatko Tripic’s goal was ruled out for offside. Salvesen was also very close to set pieces.
But where Viking was ineffective, Rosenborg was. Pereira’s volley was Rosenborg’s only shot on target.
– We know we’re not 100 percent in sync, and series openers often end up like today. It was the same against Odd last year. We started well, we also failed. But we won the game, and that is its characteristic, Rosenborg coach Kjetil Rekdal told NRK.
The quarter before the end went from bad to worse for the Vikings. Shayne Pattynama received her second yellow card, and thus missed the home match against Lillestrøm next weekend.
