Sarpsborg ran after the start of the dream – now in a thin thread – NRK Sport – Sports News, Results and Scouting Plan

47 seconds. That's all Sarpsborg 08 needed to shock Besiktas on the Østfold wet artificial turf.

Rashad Muhammad skirted a Loris Karius and could only pass the ball into the net. Five minutes later, 20-year-old Tobias Heintz received a 35-meter dream shot and the jubilee was held on Sarpsborg's rooftop.

"It can be a rainy night in the Sarpsborg stadium," said NRK radio commentator Trond Johnsen.

But the party should quickly turn to disappointment.

– It became heavy after all

It looked very chic for Sarpsborg, especially because Genk led 2-0 against Malmö in Sweden. But in a few minutes everything turned. In Malmö, the Swedes took over the reins of management, while Besiktas took over Sarpsborg.

It was first Jeremain Lens who scored the ball at the biggest center of 20 meters. Vagner Love suddenly found himself alone behind the Sarpsborg fighter and slid the EQ for the guests.

"We went out a hundred percent and we can surprise everyone, we were leading 2-0 and getting numbers three and four, so it's sad not to hold on, but it's Besiktas we meet then, a team classmates, "Tobias Heintz said.

"We should have put 3-0, then Besiktas' morale was a little different, so it would have ended," said Sarpsborg coach Geir Bakke.

The quarter before the end was again acclaimed on the roof of the Sarpsborg stadium. Patrick Mortensen was well placed on the ground to complain before he saw the flag of the assistant judge's offside.

– It was difficult in this case. It will probably be discussed, Johnsen commented.

Then grace came from the Turks. Aleksandr Vasjutin did not learn of the goalkeeper's mistake from the first lap. The goalkeeper from Sarpsborg decided to go until the end of the 16 meters to reach Lens. The fast wing has passed and placed the ball in the open network.

"There was a lot of running and we kicked the ball for 90 minutes, and you notice that it has become heavy after all," says Heintz.

Tabbekeeper cleared again

Besiktas goalkeeper Loris Karius must be held responsible for the first two Sarpsborg scores.

At first, he was far from his goal of getting out of it. He missed and Rashad Muhammed could easily run 1-0 in the open net. The second goal was a long shot that fell behind the lost German.

What are you doing, Karius ?! You only watch the ball and it defies you. He's in the middle distance and it looks like Tobias Heintz! Johnsen told NRK Sport that his team had gone up to 2-0.

"I bet he was far, our team coach advised me to do it often, and then I hit well," said the striker himself.

Difficult starting point for Sarpsborg

As the second match ended 2-2, the status is that Besiktas ranks 2nd in the group. Malmö is on the square behind and suddenly Sarpsborg 08 is at the bottom of the table.

so, it is necessary Sarpsborg defeated Genk in the last group match. Then they will pass Belgium on mutual settlement. In addition, they should expect a draw or a defeat of Besiktas in the second match. But at Sarpsborg, they do not seem desperate at first.

– We do not think we are going to lose. The mentality does not exist here. We will see. I think we have good chances, "said Tobias Heintz.

"It's getting hard, I think everyone understands, but we've met everyone who is fighting here with a smile on our face as we hone, we've always been convinced that anything is possible, and we've got it. now, "says trainer Bakke.
