Vålerenga Fotball proved a better side without player-coach Kjetil Rekdal tonight as they came from behind to record a 3-1 home Tippeligaen win against Moss FK.
Key change
Vålerenga, 1-0 behind with Rekdal on the pitch in the first half, produced a sparkling second-half display as the coach took himself off. Within 15 minutes of the restart Vålerenga had turned the game around. Moss took the lead on 41 minutes through Øyvind Storflor, but after Rekdal was replaced by Johan Arneng, the hosts fought back and Knut Henry Haraldsen equalised just two minutes into the second half.
Seventh in the table
Winger Stian Ohr made it 2-1 with a delightful lob after 55 minutes and substitute Arneng completed the comeback with number three from 14 metres on the hour mark. The result moves Vålerenga up to seventh in the Norwegian top flight, while Moss are bottom of the table on goal difference.
