Mikkelsen equalized after nightmare start
Rosenborg got the worst possible start to the settlement when Saint-Étienne scored after just four minutes when Robert Beric.
– It is like that as they go out. With edge and tip coming behind. So we are not following the race. It’s good speed and good timing in their attack, then hangs we not also put the it. It is well done by them. We could have done it better. One should not be standing next to here. Then people get punished, said Ingebrigtsen on the French first objective.
And added:
– After that we had better control. But it takes time to get used to the level.
And just what did RBK. Tobias Mikkelsen scored three goals away from home in qualifying for the Europa League. After 16 minutes it was the Danish away specialist on the move again.
