Rosenborg's clash with Lillestrom was abandoned on Sunday after fans made their feelings known about VAR.
There were four anti-VAR protests inside the first 30 minutes with both sets of supporters throwing tennis balls, flares and fish cakes before the game was called off.
Rosenborg's ultras chucked tennis balls onto the pitch which forced the players to exit the pitch under new rules.
They then held up a banner which read: 'we will never give up, VAR will go away'.
The players made their way out and the stadium announcer then said that if there are any more stoppages, the game will be abandoned.

After 25 minutes the Lillestrom fans once again threw more tennis balls onto the pitch, holding up the same banner.
Once again this caused the players to leave, and after waiting, the announcer again said that one more stoppage and the game will be abandoned.
