*FWEEEEEEE*
The referee blew the whistle, and the match restarted after the break with Viking Stavanger's kick-off.
The Lerkendal crowd exploded into thunderous cheers, drowning out every sound in the stadium. The atmosphere was festive in the home ground of the Troll Kids as the fans sang at the top of their voices to egg on their respective teams.
From the first minute of the second half, the Viking players tried to dominate possession by playing slow but steady passing football in the backfield. They looked much more comfortable than they had in the first half as they moved the ball from one side of the pitch to another without trying to mount an attack on Rosenborg. It seemed they intended to grow slowly into the game without taking risks.
