Rosenborg – Viking

Rosenborg eked out a 2‑1 win at home over Viking, tightening the gap at the top but remaining only sixth in the table with 30 points from 20 games. The victory lifted the Trondheim side to a modest +7 goal difference (36‑29) after a season that has seen them win nine, draw three and lose eight. Viking, sitting second with 47 points and an impressive +31 goal margin (51‑20), now remain three points behind league leaders despite the setback. The two clubs have split their head‑to‑head meetings this campaign, each claiming one win, so the result keeps the rivalry perfectly balanced. Both teams will now look to build on the outcome as the race for European spots intensifies.
