Eidsvold claimed a emphatic 7-2 victory over Eivik-Lyn in the opening round of the Norwegian Cup, played at Gjøvik Stadium on 22 August 2026. The hosts took an early lead before the visitors turned the tie into a rout that stretched into extra time.
It began with Eivik-Lyn taking the lead through B. Notoane twelve minutes in, a moment that set the tone for a game that would spiral out of control. E. Mulaj doubled their advantage before half-time at thirty-seven minutes, and for a while Eivik-Lyn looked like they had something to say about the tie.
Then the momentum shifted. J. Dalen Korsaksel pulled one back for Eidsvold in the seventieth minute, and from that point the visitors took over. N. Fjellestad, F. F. Da Silva and J. Bolso added three more before extra time began, with Da Silva finding the net again at ninety-five minutes to level the scores at 4-4.
Extra time offered no respite. E. Ruud struck at one hundred and seven minutes, A. Bandeh at one hundred and sixteen, and Da Silva completed his brace at one hundred and eighteen to seal a 7-2 victory.
The statistics sheet tells a curious story. Both sides are listed with zero attacks, zero corners, zero shots on target and zero shots off target, alongside equal possession at 0.5. The numbers do not match the goals on the board, but the result is clear enough.
Eivik-Lyn's recent record offers little comfort. They have lost four of their last five matches, including defeats to Raufoss, Elverum and Hønefoss. Eidsvold, meanwhile, come off a mixed run with results against Ull/Kisa, Skeid and Bærum.
The victory takes Eidsvold through to the next round of the cup, while Eivik-Lyn's campaign ends with a heavy defeat and questions about how a 2-0 lead was blown so comprehensively.
