Larvik defeated Gjøvik IF Women 55-13 in the Norwegian Cup on 26 August 2026. The match took place at 18:00 local time with Larvik taking control from the outset. The result leaves little doubt about the gap between the sides on this occasion.
Larvik's fifth consecutive victory was built on sustained pressure throughout. Gjøvik conceded too many goals in quick succession and could not recover. The hosts saw it out but could not close the gap at any stage.
Gjøvik's recent form has been inconsistent, with three draws in their last five matches. They drew 28-28 with Asane and 29-29 against Trondheim Women before losing 23-28 to Utleira. The results suggest a team finding its rhythm but still vulnerable defensively.
Larvik arrived with momentum, having beaten Solan women 31-29 and lost narrowly to Viborg 22-31. Their record against Sturhamar showed two losses but also a 36-27 win over Tertnes Handball Elite. The away side clearly fancied their chances heading into this fixture.
The 42-goal margin reflects a comprehensive performance from the visitors. Gjøvik paid for a sloppy opening and could not regain composure. Larvik now extend their winning streak and move further clear in the cup standings.
