Good play by Tettey

Alexander Tettey helped much when the U21 national team won 1-0 over Spain tonight.
RBK's midfielder talent substituted Lyn's Tomasz Sokolowski at half time, and helped straighten out things on Norway's central midfield.
"We didn't begin too well, and we were not able to put enough pressure on them. I myself wasn't able to recieve the ball properly," Alexander Tettey told TV2 Zebra.
But the play improved as the second half progressed.
"We were good at putting pressure on them at the right time and keeping the ball. We were able to stay cool," the RBK-player thought.
Eventually Norway got their reward: The Spanish goalkeeper dropped the ball after trying to catch a crossball, and Olav Tuelo Johannesen was able to put it into the net after it had been by both Tettey and Tarik Elyounoussi.
PS! Per Ciljan Skjelbred did not play due to having to prepare for an exam in Norwegian.
