Chiakha broke the game open in the 35th minute when he converted a penalty, and Rosenborg BK carried that 1-0 lead into the interval. IK Start tried to change the flow straight after the restart, sending on James Ampofo and Eirik Wilberg Schulze, while Rosenborg introduced Jonas Sogaard Mortensen.
The second half had more interruptions than clear openings for long stretches. Rosenborg turned to the bench again with Tobias Solheim Dahl, Nordli, Santeri Vaananen and Jesper Reitan Sunde all introduced, while Start later added Deni Dashaev. Yellow cards followed for Steve Mvoue, Nordli, Sunde and John Olav Norheim as the score remained tight deep into the contest.
The highlights arrived right at the end. Nordli struck at 90', with Ceide supplying the assist, and Chiakha then added Rosenborg's third from another Ceide setup. The result lifts Rosenborg to sixth on 24 points, while Start stay 16th on 10 after 17 matches. The final score, the late burst and the closing stats made for a simple summary: Rosenborg were clinical when it mattered.
