Akers claimed a 30:27 victory over Follo in the NM Cup on Tuesday evening, 25 August 2026. The home side held their nerve in what proved to be a closely contested encounter. Both teams had shown mixed form in recent weeks, and neither could claim dominance throughout.
Akers arrived with two defeats in their last five outings, including a narrow 27:28 loss to Storhamar 2 and a 32:34 defeat by Fjellhammer IL. Follo, meanwhile, had picked up a point last week in a 31:30 loss to Haslum HK Women before ending a barren spell with back-to-back victories. The draw brought them together early in the competition.
The final score leaves Akers three goals clear, a margin that reflected a match decided in brief moments rather than sustained pressure. Neither side possessed clear statistical advantage, and the result will likely reshape expectations for both squads in the cup run.
