Josh Gatt of Molde

AMSTERDAM – Josh Gatt and two-time defending champs Molde FK continued their early season struggle with a galling 2-1 home defeat to Lillestrøm on Tuesday.


The US international worked a solid 86-minute shift, but the holders failed to create many dangerous scoring chances despite dominating possession. Molde surrendered the winner shortly after equalizing in the 71st minute to make it two losses in two games on the Tippeligaen campaign.
