The only goal arrived midway through the first half. Filip Ottosson supplied the pass and Nyheim finished to make it 1-0 to the away side. Start had no reply before the interval and the scoreline stayed unchanged throughout the second half.
Lillestrom controlled the chances without adding to their lead, finishing with 22 shots to Start's 12 and five on target to one, so the contest stayed tight until the end. Start's night finished badly when Altin Ujkani was sent off in the 90+5 minute, leaving them with ten men for the closing moments.
Start travel to Rosenborg in the Eliteserien on Saturday, 7 November, while Lillestrom return to European action at home to Plzen in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, 5 November.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Start 36%, the draw 24%, Lillestrom 40%. It finished Start 0–1 Lillestrom.
Lillestrom edge it on strength, Start's finishing pushes back — We give Lillestrom 40% mainly because our strength rating has them 116 points higher, though Start's cold finishing streak, which usually bounces back, and their home advantage keep this close. The draw sits at 24%, below the usual 28% for this gap, as both teams' recent games average 3.4 goals.
Why Lillestrom at 40%?
Lillestrom sit 116 points higher on our strength rating — 1440 to 1324. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.8% of 14,851 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 32–23–45.
Why only 40%?
Start sit -0.57 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.3% of 2,981 such games where the class table expected 35.5%.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,539. The goals environment takes 2.4 points off the draw. The bounce-back factor takes 1.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Out: Jens Husebø, an important player, and Kristoffer Tønnessen, a rotation player. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team.
