Tom Pettersson scored the first goal for Lillestrøm in the 9th minute, then Yildren Ibrahimaj added another in the 33rd minute In the end, Aalesund was frustrated by Lillestrøm’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Lillestrøm ended the match with the shutout victory. Lillestrøm should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
