Domestic League Fixture against Aalesund FK

The Rosenborg players remained turtled up in the dressing room to avoid the fan violence, which had gone on longer than expected after the game. They continued singing, dancing, and chatting loudly to celebrate their victory during the first few minutes. But they all soon grew silent and started dozing off on the benches as the post-match fatigue finally caught up to them. After a few more minutes, snores and sounds of deep breathing resounded across the dressing room as most of the players slipped into a deep sleep.

The holdup then continued for roughly two more hours — and finally, when the clock hand was almost pointing to the 1:00 AM mark, the coaches got the go-ahead from stadium security to depart from the stadium.

"Guys!" Coach Johansen shouted while moving around and waking up the sleeping players. "It's time to go. Pick your things, and let's go back to the hotel."
