Match report
Molde beat Start 6-1 at Aker Stadion after taking control before half-time and pulling away after the break. Sander Hestetun Kilen scored twice and Emil Breivik added a late sixth, while Start also missed a penalty after VAR confirmed it.
Kilen put Molde ahead in the 29th minute from a Caleb Sery assist, before Kristian Lonebu made it 2-0 from the spot in the 39th minute. Start went into the break two goals down.
Start had a brief way back into the match after the interval. VAR confirmed a penalty for Nikolaos Koutsakos on 52 minutes, but he missed it on 54, and John Olav Norheim then pulled one back for Start from Mikael Ugland's assist to make it 2-1. Molde replied two minutes later through Sery, set up by Kilen, and Kilen made it 4-1 on 65 minutes from Emil Breivik's pass before scoring his second of the match on 76 minutes. Molde made three changes on 67 minutes, with Mathias Lovik, Mats Møller Dæhli and Caleb Sery going off, and Breivik sealed the win on 79 minutes, assisted by Niklas Ödegard, who had come on in the 67th minute. Sander Hestetun Kilen, who had also scored on 29 minutes, was replaced on 77 minutes.
