Start secured a 4:1 victory over KFUM Oslo at home in the 19th round of Eliteserien on 30 August. The hosts took an early lead through Altin Ujkani, who struck in the third minute, and built on that momentum throughout the contest. KFUM responded with a goal from Bilal Njie in the 27th minute before the visitors took the lead through Håkon Lorentzen's effort in the 81st minute.
Erland Reitan restored Start's advantage with a goal in the 44th minute, and Denis Dashaev sealed the result with a late strike in stoppage time. The match saw its fair share of disciplinary issues, with D. Schneider picking up two yellow cards before being sent off in the 90+2 minute. Several substitutions were made around the half-hour mark, with both teams bringing on fresh legs.
The statistics tell an interesting story about how the game unfolded. Start dominated possession with 56 per cent, while KFUM Oslo held 44 per cent. The hosts registered 15 shots to the visitors' 6, though only 7 came on target compared to KFUM's single effort on target. Start created three big chances while their opponents managed just one.
What stands out is the efficiency difference between the two sides. Start's shots on target conversion rate of 37 per cent contrasted sharply with KFUM's 11 per cent accuracy. The visitors did attempt more crosses with 19 compared to 8, but only five landed successfully. Start's defensive work was solid, making 30 clearances to KFUM's 16.
The result sees Start remain in 16th place on 10 points from 17 games, while KFUM Oslo stay in 12th position with 19 points. The home side have not won since their 2:1 victory over Flekkefjord on 22 August, while KFUM came into this fixture with a 4:0 win against Ready.
