On Saturday, Molde lost the NM final on penalties against Fredrikstad and in the last round of the Eliteserien it became clear they also landed outside the game in Europe after having been in the top four for most of the season.
Bodø/Glimt won the Eliteserien again this year, this time over Brann who led by a stroke three under before the end. In third place Viking and in a surprising fourth place Rosenborg, who after a horrible start to the season only got stronger and stronger throughout the season. If the Trønders continue like this next season, they will be the ones who will challenge Bodø/Glimt.

Molde in fifth place, far from the ambitions for this year. – After the cup loss on Saturday, NRK spoke to a relatively silent Molde coach Erling Moe: “There is a very big difference between winning and losing. Of course, it is leaden when you lose. It is difficult to give a specific reason why we lose. It waves back and forth, and in the end it is decided on penalties. You don’t like to lose, and you want to be on the other side. Today, we can’t do that. That’s how it is. We cannot lie down and die. Then you can’t keep doing this.”
We congratulate Fredrikstad on the Norwegian Championship! – And a congratulations to head coach Andreas Hagen for a job well done!
Fredrikstad, who are back in good company after years in the valley of shadows, ended up one point behind Molde in the Eliteserien and can celebrate their success in the Norwegian championship and with it a ticket to the European Cup.
Furthermore, the Molde boss was asked if the 2024 season ended in failure for the club, which only finished fifth in the Eliteserien.
“I’m concerned about the cup final. We’ll have to deal with the other thing afterwards.
– Do you think you have the confidence needed to take the team forward?
“These questions cannot be answered here and now,” Moe replied briefly to NRK.
