Nigeria midfielder Daniel Daga was on target as Molde FK beat KFUM Oslo 4-2 in the Norwegian Eliteserien on Sunday.
Daga levelled the score at 1-1 with five minutes left in the first half, his first goal in two league appearances this season. He started the match before being substituted in the 69th minute. The win moved Molde up to fifth in the 16 team table with 23 points.
The goal continues Daga’s gradual return to first-team football following a legal case that had kept him out of Molde’s squad for several months. In March 2026, a lower Norwegian court sentenced Daga to six months in prison after finding him guilty of committing a sexual act without consent, in connection with an incident reported to have occurred in April 2025, he had been formally charged on December 19, 2025. Following that conviction, he was suspended indefinitely from first team selection at Molde.
Norway’s Frostating Court of Appeal subsequently overturned the conviction, clearing Daga to return to first-team action. Sunday’s goal marks his most productive outing since his reinstatement to the squad.
