Rosenborg 3-1 IFK Norrköping
Once UEFA Champions League regulars, Rosenborg’s aspirations of a first group stage campaign in nine seasons got off to a sure-footed start. Goals in the opening 20 minutes of the second half from Hólmar Eyjólfsson, Pål André Helland and Yann-Erik de Lanlay gave the home side a 3-0 lead. Norrköping, whose most recent European Cup game came against AC Milan in 1963/64, pulled one back through Sebastian Andersson to keep hopes alive.
