Rosenborg coach Ola By Rise was both happy and relieved after what ended as a big victory against Lillestrøm.

"In many ways, this match was just as difficult as the one against Sheriff at Wednesday - even tough an away match in Europe always is tough," By Rise says to rbkweb.com.

At half time the result was 1-1, after a late reducing goal from the guests.

"The lads geared themselves up before the second half. They feel the pressure in such games as well - it is, after all, not just me as coach that has a responsibility," Ola tells us.

And Rosenborg players on fire really took hold of the game when they entered the pitch.

"I really enjoyed the way we win this match. We get 2-1, and when Lillestrøm send more people forward, we got two more scores."

The two last goals were made by the substitutes Øyvind Storflor and Daniel Braaten.

"It is important to have players on the bench that can contribute with something new, people that aren't just weaker copies of the ones out on the field. The strikethrough aggressiveness of Øyvind and the running jerk of Daniel were valuable assets for us today," Ola By Rise states.
