What the stats do reveal is a clear dominance by the home team, swiftly maneuvering the ball, converting chances, and managing to score impressively throughout the match.

Initially in the match Aalesunds FK, struck first at 10:54 giving them an early edge. However, their lead was short-lived, as Lillestrom SK made a remarkable comeback, beginning with their first goal at 29:22, swiftly followed by a second one at 40:36, which overturned the score to 2-1 in Lillestrom's favor just before halftime.

Despite only one offside committed by Lillestrom SK, the disciplined line movement did little to hinder their comprehensive victory, whereas the away team kept clean in this regard.

In terms of disciplinary action, the home team received two yellow cards during the match, a stark comparison to Aalesunds FK's relatively clean slate in this category. However, the away team earned an unwelcomed distinction, courtesy of a red card, which certainly didn't help their cause.
