In their last match, Rosenborg recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Aalesund. Neither Aalesund nor Rosenborg could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 8 and 9 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Rosenborg is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches, while 14th placed Tromsø is fresh off their 1-5 loss against Molde. Eric Bugale Kitolano struck first for Tromsø in the 7th minute, but Erling Knudtzon got the equalizer for Molde in the 16th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 20th minute on a goal by Kristoffer Haugen. Tromsø looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
