Match report
Kristiansand defeated Viking 30-29 in the NM Cup on Wednesday evening. The away side held on for a single-goal victory at home turf. It was a tight contest from the opening whistle.
Viking came into this fixture with momentum, having won three of their last five matches. They had beaten Bergsøy 30-24 just three days prior. To be fair, the home side would have fancied their chances.
Kristiansand's form had been patchy, with only one victory in their previous five outings. And here's the thing — we tipped the away win beforehand. The confidence was high, and the result vindicated that call.
The visitors showed resilience after struggling against Elverum earlier in September. They had drawn with Fjellhamar and lost narrowly to Sandefjord TIF. This result suggests they found a rhythm at the right moment.
Viking will take heart from their defensive solidity, having kept Bergsøy to just 24 goals. The margin of victory tells you everything — one goal either way.
