Molde HK women claimed a 33-23 victory against Oppsal in the REMA 1000-лига on Saturday, 5 September. The result moves the visitors up to sixth place in the table, while the hosts remain in eleventh. Oppsal had already played one match this season, ending in a draw, and Molde's win from their opening fixture puts them on two points.
Molde's previous outing was a 26-23 win against Fjellhammer IL on 30 August. Oppsal's sole match so far ended 24-36 away to Tertnes Handball Elite on the same date. Both sides came into this fixture with one game under their belts.
The visitors took control early and held on grimly throughout. Molde's attack cut them open at will, while the home side struggled to find any rhythm. The pitch cut up badly late on, but that made little difference to the outcome.
The result means Molde sit six points clear of the bottom half, while Oppsal drop further behind with their second game now complete. The hosts have hit a wall after their opening draw, and the gap at the top of the table is beginning to widen.
