Martin Linnes struck first for Molde in the 58th minute on a feed from Ola Brynhildsen, then Magnus Grødem added another in the 69th minute In the end, Aalesund was frustrated by Molde’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board.

This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Haugesund won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Oscar Krusnell and Sory Ibrahim Diarra are the top scorers for Haugesund in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
