In Norway, Rosenborg and Brann drew in a match where both teams sought three points. Emil Konradsen Ceïde found Iver Fossum alone in front of goal, who scored the lead goal from close range before the 15th minute. Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson scored a free kick from 20 meters for Brann five minutes later. Thorsteinsson was not originally intended to start the match. Rosenborg is in 12th place with five points after six matches, while Brann is in 13th place with four points after six matches. The snow lay thick over Lerkendal, as reporter Victor Kjeldstad noted: "Reminds more of a December match this, the way the snow lies thick over Lerkendal." Expert commentator Jesper Mathisen praised Thorsteinsson's goal, saying: "It cannot be done better."
