That was the thoughts of Myhre when Hellestø scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute.
Preceding that match was a 2. Division - Group 1 defeat to Arendal (0-1).The match schedule is unforgiving for Moss as they have a new game in only four days, a 2. Division - Group 1 match thankfully also at home. Egersund are visiting.
