New slowdown in Europe: historically weak Rosenborg

RBK – Celtic 0-1:

Four times earlier, the club had already played three home games, as at the beginning of the year 1999/2000. But it was in the second game of the Champions League season. The opponents came from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Dynamo Kiev.

The Rosenborg players remained standing 41 minutes Thursday night. Then the fast-paced forward Scott Sinclair led and pushed the Scots in the lead.

RBK got up after a break and Samuel Adegbenro was close enough to the match after a good post from Birger Meling. However, when the Turkish Halis Özkahya sounded for the last time that night in November, the RBK players had to realize that Lerkendal had yet to lose after a defeat in Europe.

The club has now won the group match with three consecutive home defeats after the defeat of Salzburg (1-3) and Leipzig (2-5) earlier this fall.

Nine points in 1997

This means that the club records a negative result in a group game:

Since Rosenborg joined the Champions League in the fall of 1995, there have been 18 group matches in the league or in Europe. At the time of the great, the audience of Lerkendal could refuel, as in 1997, when Real Madrid, Olympiakos and Porto were all hit at home. During this period, the winter of 2000 was also the weakest, with only one point. But the club then won its champion group in the fall of 1999 and was therefore ready for another group match where only the canons remained.

In recent seasons, deliveries have been more uneven than in the 1990s. In 2016, there was a home team in the European League against Saint-Etienne, while the club had taken four points, 1-1 against Zenit Russian and victory over the Macedonian Vardar.

But never before, there was no point in the starting column in a Europe chart. There is little doubt that there was a betrayal of rubbish, matte three days before the final of the cup in Ullevaal.

Thin theory

The starting point before the regulation was simple: only a slim theory could move RBK forward, after four tight defeats and a goal difference of 3-12. Coach Rini Coolen however did not spare on the turn, and with the exception of Pål André Helland's rest Sunday, the Dutch team dominated the team.

And for those who saw the group game in Glasgow early in the fall: it was a first round as planned: Celtic – particularly declared by midfielder Tom Rogic – had a lot of ball while RBK was weak and continued. There was also a plan that worked well: the Scots had two or three opportunities in the first period, where André Hansen – as usual – was expanding and avoided. But otherwise, RBK had a useful control. After 27 minutes, Coolen's men also had the opportunity that they were waiting: Yann-Erik de Lanlay passed Kieran Tierney on the right before hitting the ball in the feet. There, Nicklas Bendtner was chased out, but the Danes did not get the job.

However, the Scots did not miss to seize the remarkable opportunity of RBK and after 41 minutes, it became clear that the former player of Chelsea, Sinclair, was the highest on the ground.

Adegbenro and Vilhjalmsson

So, after a break, Adegbenro was virtually close by exposing a Meling post to the goal, but Celtic was constantly in control. Scorer Sinclair, among other things, made some small visions in front of Hansen, while Rogic continued to fly balls in the longitudinal direction of midfield.

The last quarter, however, gave RBK a real effort: after 74 minutes, a Bendtner post came into play by Mathias Vilhjalmsson, but the title became too weak. Four minutes later, Adegbenro also scored a header – but the ball passed.

After 90 minutes, Bendtner also had a chance – when he ran the highest after a corner. But the end is over – and ended in 0-1.

And the third consecutive home defeat of RBK in a group match in Europe.
