The Norwegian top-tier Elite Series kicks off in early April.

Despite that, Molde has stood for a real bang in Europe.

The Norwegian club beat German Hoffenhem in the Europa League's round of 16 after a total of 5-3 after two crazy matches.

The statistics in the double meeting are remarkable.

A total of 51 finishes

Hoffenheim has had a total of 51 deals, according to UEFA's official website.

21 of the shots hit goals and three became goals.

Molde has been significantly more efficient.

A total of eleven finishes, six shots on goal - and five goals.

For Swedish goalkeeper Andreas Linde, it was a sweaty double encounter.

In the return tonight, the 27-year-old nailed again with nine saves.

Linde and his teammates in Molde are ready for the round of 16 in the Europa League.

Come back strong

When Hoffenheim pushed in 3-1 in the first meeting, the German club had a real grip on the double meeting.

But Molde came back and managed to get in both 2-3 and 3-3 before the referee blew off the match.

Hoffenheim pressed hard tonight to take command of the match.

But in the 19th minute, the Germans instead got to see Eirik Ulland Andersen make it 1-0, assisted by former Malmö FF player Magnus Wolff Eikrem.

Then Hoffenheim poured in to get a receipt.

But in stoppage time, minute 94th, Ulland Andersen made it 2-0.
