The referee blew the whistle, and the match restarted as soon as the Molde players finished celebrating their second goal. Nicki Nielsen immediately raised his leg and kicked the ball back to Zachary in the midfield.
Zachary controlled the ball with a deft first touch a few yards away from the center circle before casting a glance around, searching for possible passing options. But he instantly noticed that the Molde attacking players were already starting to throng into Rosenborg's half with newfound motivation and energy born from having scored an equalizer. They seemed to have already altered their strategy to high-pressing tactics so as to stop Rosenborg from dictating the proceedings on the field of play once again.
