Chiakha scores to become sole Eliteserien top scorer

31 October 2026 · Algeria Now

Amin Chiakha struck just before halftime on Saturday to secure a goal for Rosenborg in their away visit to Fredrikstad. The 20-year-old’s effort, a cross shot from the right side of the penalty area, proved vital for the visitors at their opponents' home ground.

The strike increased Chiakha’s Eliteserien tally to 16 goals, placing him as the sole top scorer in the competition. His league record now stands at 16 goals and three assists, with three of his strikes coming from penalties.

The goal provided a significant relief following concerns about an injury sustained in the previous match against HamKam on Wednesday 28 October. Chiakha had been substituted at halftime in that fixture, which also saw Rosenborg eliminated from the Norwegian Cup.

Rosenborg entered the match in fourth place in the table with 40 points. The result keeps their campaign alive as they look to climb the standings in the final stages of the season.
