Molde welcome Rosenborg to Aker Stadion for an Eliteserien clash on Saturday (May 11th). The home side are coming off a 4-2 comeback victory over Sarpsborg at the same venue in the Norwegian Cup round-of-16 in midweek.
They were behind at the break courtesy of Peter Reinhardsen's 33rd-minute strike but were level through Kristian Eriksen three minutes after the break. Sondre Orjasaeter restored the visitors' lead a minute later.
But Anders Hagelskjaer, Magnus Eikrem and Eirik Hestad all scored to help their side book a quarterfinal date with Lillestrom after Orjasaeter was sent off in the 65th minute.
Erling Moe's side will turn their focus back to the league where their last game came in a 3-1 defeat away to Sandefjord.
Rosenborg, meanwhile, fell to a 3-0 defeat away to Brann in their last outing. Ole Blomberg, Aune Heggebo and Niklas Castro all scored to guide their side to victory.
