Lerkendal was literally on fire the following evening.
By 6:00 PM, the overenthusiastic fans had long filled up all the seats in the stadium. They were already singing like a group of maniacs even when there was still an hour to kick-off. It was as if the entire place was experiencing an earthquake as their voices reverberated like thunder across the stadium. For sure, they were very excited and looking forward to that evening's Europa League game between Rosenborg and Fiorentina.
"Testing, one two... testing, one..."
Suddenly, another loud sound accompanied by some static cut across the din as the loudspeakers around the entire stadium came alive.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen," the voice of Kjell Roar, the commentator for the day, sounded next as the cheers in the stadium reduced in volume. "Welcome to Lerkendal for today's highly-anticipated Europa League game between Rosenborg Ballklub and ACF Fiorentina."
