No sign of nerves from Kristoffer Steinset at 21 — 7.90
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kristoffer Steinset did not need any: 7.90, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Nobody wants to play Raufoss right now
4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Mathias Skott-Grande turns down Raufoss
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Moss keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Tempers go at Raufoss
Rafik Zekhnini was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Graduation day at Raufoss
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

A row about effort at Raufoss
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Filip Da Silva was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The crowd has taken to Kristoffer Steinset
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.

Raufoss find a way past Sandefjord
Sandefjord made Raufoss work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Raufoss promote Vegard Sorloth from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Vegard Sorloth has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
