Thus, LSK failed to break the match streak at Marienlyst without a victory. Lillestrøm has to go back to 2009 to find the former league winner at Drammen.
Lillestrøm has come to Marienlyst unbeaten so far this season, but Godset won 3-0 on his own artificial turf thanks to goals from Ipalibo Jack, Kristoffer Tokstad and Lars-Jørgen Salvesen.
– We didn’t speed anything today. It’s a match that sometimes comes along,” Gear Buck said in a post-match interview with Discovery.
Better after the break
It was a close fight and even before the break, but after the break, Stromsgodset dominated the match.
After 53 minutes, Jack came up with a corner kick from Hermann Stengel, and the “dead ball team” punished LSK with his power when he stabbed the ball into the goal.
Later in the round, former LSK player Tokstad doubled his lead when he got a poor tackle from Ifeanyi Mathew and smashed the ball into the net at the root of the post.
In overtime, Salvesen broke through the match with a cannon shot. He took the ball to the right and cut inside the field before shoving the ball into the net.
– Salvesen said I look forward to seeing him again, on the score 3-0
captain kicked out
It was a bad day for the normally fast Germond Osun, with both teams going into the break with a 0-2 draw.
Åsen said – I got a red card that puts the team in a tough spot, and that means we don’t get a proper final race.
– I get a little long touch, and then I hit Hove with one foot. I thought it was a strict red card. The LSK captain continued but I just lay flat because I put the team in this position.
Various achievements
In May, Godst played six consecutive league games without losing. After the “Summer Break”, it ended with Sarpsborg losing 1-5 and losing 2-3 to Jovik Lane in the cup.
There are great differences between us, but I know the key in Strømsgodset is that we are a united gang. We don’t lie down and feel sorry for ourselves. We are moving fast and attacking the next task right away,” Stromsgodset coach Haakon Webby Lund said after the victory over the league leaders.
Strømsgodset climbed to fourth with 20 points, while Lillestrøm holds the top of the table for the time being. Molde can take over by winning the postponed match against Jerf.
