Huge blow for Vålerenga – defeated by a dream goal

Vålerenga's away game against Start proved to be a difficult outing, as the team failed to recover from a shaky start and ultimately lost 0-2. This marked Start's first victory of the season after a challenging run.

For Johannes Moesgaard, Vålerenga's new head coach, this away match was a stark contrast to his successful home debut. After securing an overtime win in his first home game, the team couldn't replicate that success on the road, conceding two goals in Kristiansand.

Start's victory was celebrated by over 9,000 spectators. "It was incredibly nice. It was incredibly deserved. Look at the supporters. They are Norway's most delightful supporters," said Start player Erleng Segberg, highlighting the team's joy and the fans' enthusiasm.

Start took an early lead in the fifth minute when Omar Jebali headed a corner kick to Jesper Cornelius, who scored from close range. The second goal, scored by Stève Mvoué in the 30th minute, was a moment of brilliance, described by TV 2 commentator Endre Olav Osnes as "a goal for the books."
