Match report
Lillestrom left Sandefjord Arena with a 2-0 win after two first-half goals settled the match. Thomas Lehne Olsen opened the scoring in the 13th minute and Eric Kitolano added the second in the 24th.
Olsen made it 1-0 from Frederik Elkaer’s assist, before Kitolano doubled the lead with Sturla Ottesen setting him up. That left Sandefjord 2-0 down at half-time.
Sandefjord made two changes on 31 minutes, then another two on 62 minutes and two more on 72 minutes, but the score never changed. Lillestrom also made two changes on 59 minutes and another two on 75 minutes, with Kitolano among those withdrawn after his goal and Olsen coming off later as the visitors saw out the final stages.
The numbers pointed to a home side that had 58% possession, 566 passes to Lillestrom’s 405, and 21 shots to 10. Sandefjord also led 7-6 on shots on target, 4-3 on corners and 1.35-0.53 on xG, while Lillestrom had more saves, 7-4, and more offsides, 4-0.
