• Viking – Odd 0-2 (0-2)
VIKING STADIUM (Dagbladet): Odd beat Viking 2-0 at Viking Stadium after both assist and a brilliant solomål of great talent Rafik Zekhnini ground it. Even were 18-year-old enthralled with both individual performance and the team’s first victory in Stavanger since 2003.
– It’s fucking delicious. It is an important trepoenger. We have not won here in many years, so it was good with a win.
More maturity
One can say that the fight against Odd Grenland was the first real test for Viking, which could take table top with victory. Previously came Stavanger made from victory against a Start-layer tipped north and down, a Vålerenga team in crisis and 0-0 at home against Sarpsborg 08 Odd for its part, stood 1-0 against Rosenborg and two straight 0 -0 matches against respectively Brann and Tromsø. A match with few goals would therefore not have been very surprising.
zymer bytyqi got acquaintance with groin during yesterday’s training, and Claes Kronberg, who came to Viking front this season, made its debut from the start. For Odd was Fredrik Semb Berge uncertain before the game and had to give up on heating. In came Lars Kristian Eriksen. From before was injured Jone Samuelsen prevented from meeting his former club. Injured were also Ardian Gashi.
singing at the stadium
It did not seem like the recent hype surrounding Viking had any impact on the spectators, which was shown when the entire home crowd chimed in to “Ein blue day” before the game. It seemed like the mood rubbed off on the players, because after a few minutes was Suleiman Abdullahi very close to giving the home team a cross from Samuel Adegbenro.
11 minutes into the game, it was odd turn to be dangerous fore. Bentley got ripped off from 20 meters, Iven Austbø saved and the rebound went into the side netting. But Bentley should have goals, and only minutes later he left alone at the far post after some to and fro in the Viking defense. Bentley made no mistake and sent Odd in the lead at Viking Stadium.
Brilliant solo raid
After the goal was the Viking who had most of the game, without coming to the biggest farlighetene. After 25 minutes it was odd that came on a dangerous transition and Zekhnini came on a brilliant solo raid. He got past a Viking player, before he feinted Karol Mets on the buttocks and put neatly into 2-0 to the visitors.
To wild cheers from the 40 or so odd supporters who made the trip from Skien. A brilliant goal by youngster.
– I run only a hundred and hope that I stretch ball. So I see that stop falling. Then I know my strength is speed, so I wonder him and sets a goal explains Zekhnini to TV2.
After that woke homemade little Samuel Adegbenro got good results on a half-volley from 16 meters, but Sondre Rossbach in odd goal had given to a corner.
Five minutes before the break was also Danish Patrick Pedersen just a few shoe size away reducer. Shortly after receiving Adegbenro ball field. He had turned up, but the goalkeeper Rossbach warded the ball against the post. Thus Odd to break with a 2-0 lead.
Good Rossbach
For the second half came 18 year old Mathias Bringaker into Viking, a player who has been really fresh ones first matches, and scored a beautiful goal in the opening series against Vålerenga. And did Bringaker was incredibly close after just four minutes of the half. Bjorn Daniel Sverrisson came around to the left, had turned an accurate cross to Bringaker but Rossbach denied him with a class block. The return set Adegbenro goal only to see the linesman had waved hands.
Viking was clearly best the first quarter, and after 59 minutes got André Danielsen good time at the back post, but Rossbach saved both shot from Danielsen and rebound from Abdullahi. He had perhaps been inspired by the song “Jump Around” which was played over the speaker system before kick-off, 20-year-old was really high and low.
The pace dropped the last half hour, and besides a couple småfarligheter to each of the layers, it happened not much more at Viking stadium. Odd won, and two young boys in both ends of the court appeared to be match-winners.
