Rosenborg took charge before the half-hour. Svensson struck first at 24:22 after an assist from Chiakha, and Duris made it 2-0 at 30:56 with Mikkel Konradsen Ceide providing the setup. Kristiansund were then forced into an early change when Frederik Flex went off at 43:40, and the visitors made three more substitutions at the interval as they tried to alter the flow.
Any hopes of a comeback faded quickly in the second half. Chiakha added the third goal at 53:01 from Ole Selnaes' assist, and Selnaes was replaced less than a minute later. Kristiansund then had a moment wiped away when a VAR check ended with a goal cancelled at 59:48, one of the key highlights in a stop-start spell after the break.
Rosenborg continued to manage the game through further substitutions on 65 minutes, while Dino Islamovic missed a penalty at 72:34 that could have stretched the margin even further. Skeide's booking at 77:18 was the only card listed before the hosts finished off a commanding result. In summary, the score, the chances and the overall stats all reflected Rosenborg's grip on the match.
