Sandefjord - Lyn has just started

The match is the first game played at the "Komplett.no Arena" and seats 9000 people.
Such a s**t name for a stadium

Sandefjord occupies the last place on the table, and lost their last two games with 4-0 and 2-0.

A team without any major profiles, especially since their top goalscorer and main reason behind their survival last year, Andreas Tegström, is out injured.
But worth mentioning is former Leeds trainee Tommy Knarvik.

Lyn on the other hand is on a really good run, beating Start away and Rosenborg 2-1 at home before the break.
Coached by former United defender Henning Berg and with profiles like Ezekiel Bala, Chinedu Ogbuke and former Southampton man Jo Tessem they can really go far this season.
In addition to the above mentioned players they have a really strong youth setup through their association with the Norwegian Center for Top Athletes (rough translation).

2-0 Martin Ericsson

another disappointment for Brøndby.

after having owned the forst half and leading 2-0, it ended up 2-2 with a 88th minute goal from Henrik Kildentoft who've just signed for FC Nordsjælland... that's right... from Brøndby.

so, Brøndby 2 games, 1 points, played against Esbjerg fB and FC Nordsjælland where 6 points were to be expected, really.

Sandefjord - Lyn 3-1

1-0 Arkivuo
2-0 Knarvik
3-0 Arkivuo
3-1 Tessem

Great with another disappointment for Brøndby. I hope the season conntinues like that so we can have a exciting league with 3-4 teams fighting for the championship, instead of two (and actually only one team last year) teams being miles better then the rest

Transfer news/European roundup for Sweden:
Lille has bought young Bosnian/Swedish striker Emra Tahirovic from Halmstads BK. Probably a year too early for him to move IMO though.

Malmö FF has signed Babis Stefanidis from rivals Helsingborgs IF.

And from my favourite club, IFK Göteborg, has selected not to extend the loan of goalie Joakim Olsson, aging brother of one of the joint managers.

While Hammarby IF managed a scoreless draw at home vs Utrecht in the Intertoto. Helsingborg and AIK steamrolled over Trans Narva (Estonia) and Glentoran (NI). Fair play awarded Häcken managed a draw at home against KR (Iceland) where an English Gothia Cup participant stormed the pitch. While reigning champions Elfsborg managed a goalless draw away in Belfast vs Linfield (NI).

Babis is the first player in ages to go directly from HIF to MFF IIRC. Not a very popular move among the HIF fans

FC Midtjylland takes the lead against Horsens. Frank Kristensen scores after 5 minutes :thdn:. Poor defending by Horsens BTW
