Sander Innvær, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.75
A mark of 8.75 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

No end in sight to Tromso's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Tromso has to find a result from somewhere.

The crowd has taken to Sander Innvær
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Viktor Ekblom was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.32. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Words at Tromso training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jesper Grundt is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Viktor Ekblom rescues a point for Tromso
It needed Viktor Ekblom to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against IK Start, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
