Cup exit for Rosenborg women, AaFK stun Brann late

Cup exit after heavy defeat

Rosenborg's women are out of the NM Cup. A heavy loss away to Arna-Bjørnar ended the campaign in disappointing fashion, and the club is hurting.

"Vi er skuffet," said the Rosenborg coach, with the mood understandably low. A cup run was a real target this season, and going out like this stings. (1) (3)

AaFK leave it late against Brann

Elsewhere, AaFK secured a dramatic 2–1 win over Brann, with Henrik Melland grabbing the winner in stoppage time. It was the club's first victory over Brann in 15 years. (2)

The result is a footnote for Rosenborg fans: AaFK had already beaten your team earlier in the competition. Seeing them go on to pull off results like this only deepens the frustration.
