Moss saw off Lørenskog 3-0 in the first round of the NM Cup at Rolvsrud stadium on Friday afternoon. The away side took control early and never looked back, wrapping up a comfortable victory on 22 August 2026. By then, the visitors had already made their intentions clear.
J. Ogbole opened the scoring in the 16th minute, finding the net before the hosts could settle into any rhythm. It was a sharp finish that gave Moss the cushion they would need later. And here's the thing about Cup games — the early goal changes everything.
The second half brought a flurry from the visitors. K. Sorensen struck twice in consecutive minutes, the 48th and 49th, turning a comfortable lead into a commanding one. To be fair, the hosts had little to offer once the visitors found their range.
R. Hermanstad added the third in the 74th minute, ensuring the result was never in doubt. The visitors played the second half a man up in spirit, if not in numbers, and picked up the points without fuss.
The statistics told a simple story. Both sides registered 0.5 possession, zero shots on target, zero shots off target, and no corners. The visitors won through clinical efficiency rather than territorial dominance.
Moss arrived with mixed recent form — a 1-2 loss to Brøne last week, a 3-3 draw with ODD, and three defeats in the intervening period. They refused to go away despite the setbacks, showing character in a Cup fixture.
Lørenskog had shown promise earlier in the year with wins against Askær and Eik-Tønsberg, but those results feel distant now. The hosts found no answer to a visitors who had nothing to lose and everything to prove.
