Games in Norway this past weekend:

2nd round cup action in Norway.

Lillestrøm hit rock bottom today when they were eliminated from the cup in the 2nd round but local minnows Eidsvoll Turn (3rd tier). The final score was 1-0, Eidsvoll's goal was one of the more comical own goals I've seen. Occéan did not dress.

Ademolu played 61 minutes as Løv-Ham advanced with a 4-0 win over Fana.

Kenny Stamatopoulos got a rare start as Tromsø defeated Skarp 5-2. Kenny was not at fault for either goal.
