KFUM Oslo loses to Vålerenga with 0-1 after a tough match at Ekeberg. Simen Hestnes was very close to becoming a KFUM hero against Vålerenga, but shortly after he was sent off. Filip Thorvaldsen gave Vålerenga a 1-0 win after a little over an hour. Thorvaldsen finished from 18 meters, and KFUM goalkeeper Emil Ødegaard was unable to keep the ball out of the goal. It was Thorvaldsen's first goal in Eliteserien. KFUM Oslo took control of the match and created several good opportunities. Ten minutes before the break, Simen Hestnes was very close, but the shot hit the crossbar. Just a minute later, he was shown a red card. Referee Marius Hansen Grøtta was sent to the VAR screen and saw that the KFUM player had stamped Carl Lange in the head in an attempt to win the ball. Vålerenga did not have a single shot on goal before the break, and almost the entire half was played on their half of the field. KFUM coach Johannes Moesgaard told TV2 that the team delivers its best in 40 minutes until the red card. VIF coach Geir Bakke said that the team is bloodless before the break without coming to very big chances. KFUM Oslo is still second to last in the table after eight matches. The red and white have only Haugesund behind them. Vålerenga took their first win since April 27 and holds tenth place in the table after nine matches.
