Stalemate in Molde
Against a Lillestrøm team that had scored just three goals in their opening four games, the home side struggled to make the breakthrough. The nearest they came was when substitute Bernt Hulsker - reportedly a transfer target of the visitors - was denied in a one-on-one situation with Lillestrøm keeper Emille Baron.
No penalty
Molde also had a penalty appeal turned down when the ball struck Torgeir Bjarmann in the 70th minute. They stay fifth in the table, with Lillestrøm climbing a place to eighth.
