RBK was in charge throughout the game, but still couldn't overtake the South Corean Steelers.

Rosenborg never came closer to winning than an anulled Vidar Riseth goal, after three minutes. The defender butted the ball in from a corner, but the Spanish referee annulled it due to an alleged attack on the goalkeeper - an extremely dubious decision, it is reported.

Still, it was a decent match by RBK. Pohang had some feeble attempts, but were lucky to get away with a draw. Especially Yssouf Kone was eager when he entered the pitch after the break. The player from Burkina Faso, who at this time were on trial in Rosenborg, had several good shots.

Lars Hirschfeld had his first match from the start, as Espen Johnsen were travelling with the Norway squad, and was well pleased with keeping a clean sheet.

This night's game marked the end of the two week long training camp on Gran Canary. Saturday, they flied home to Værnes and the Norwegian winter.
