Amund Wichne stands alone
17 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

A muscle injury sidelines Ruben Odegaard for 14 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Haugesund will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Ismaël Seoné named in the team of the month

In brief
- The dugout When it matters, Emil Rohd plays
- The dugout Vegard Solheim is still being punished for one mistake
- Market Ismaël Seoné linked with a move away
