ODD GET BACK ON RIGHT TRACK
Nat Borchers and Odd Grenland snapped a losing skid with a 4-2 decision at Tromsø on Sunday evening.

The American worked the 90 minutes at right back.

The visitors wasted no time grabbing the advantage, ambushing Tromsø with two goals in the opening five minutes.

Espen Ruud capitalized on a fumble by TIL defender Yngvar Håkonsen to break the ice on two minutes, then Stefan Bärlin buried a splendid 20-meter shot three minutes later.

The striker bagged his second near the half hour by converting a breakaway chance.

Sigurd Rushfeldt made good on a Joel Lindpere cross to pull one back for the hosts five minute before the interval.

In the 57th minute, Jacob Sørensen punished more slack defending to put the game out of reach, though Morten Moldskred did reduce the arrears six minutes later.

Scoring
ODD - Espen Ruud 5 2'
ODD - Stefan Bärlin 2 5'
ODD - Stefan Bärlin 3 29'
TIL - Sigurd Rushfeldt 6 (Joel Lindpere) 40'

MOEN PLAYS LATE FKH SAVIOR
Tor Erik Moen banked yet another later free kick to gain FK Haugesund a 1-all draw at Skeid on Sunday night.

American attacker Cameron Weaver put in a solid 90 minutes, this time working from midfield.

The hosts quickly jumped ahead as Joar Harøy was at the right place to knock home a corner kick dropped by FKH keeper Per Morten Kristiansen.

Weaver had a golden chance to level moments before intermission, but fired his 14-meter try over the bar.

Skeid carried much of the second half play, but Moen would have the last laugh by equalizing on one of his trademark restarts in the 85th minute. The strike made it three straight games that the midfielder had converted such a chance in the final five minutes of play.

Scoring
MOSS - Joar Harøy 3 8'
FKH - Tor Erik Moen 5 85'


FKH - Per Morten Kristiansen; Carlos Castro, Elias Storm, Tor Olve Fagnastøl, Tor Erik Moen, Cameron Weaver, Dag Roar Ørsal (Thor Arne Andreassen 62'), Jonas Johansen (Eirik Horneland 46'), Kevin Nicol, Bjørn Strøm (Stian Dagfinn Johnsen 68'), Petter Larsen
