Halden — Asane: 29:21, 1. Division

Halden defeated Asane 29:21 in the 1. Division on 4 October 2026. The victory keeps the hosts at the top of the table, still unbeaten after five matches. Asane remain in ninth place with two points from five games.

The result extends Halden's winning streak. They have now won all five league fixtures, including victories over Notteray, Kragerø, Lillestrøm, Tiller and Vardhaug in recent weeks. That kind of consistency is hard to maintain.

Asane's recent form tells a different story. They lost to Bodo on 27 September and drew with Notteray two days earlier. Their only win this term came against Kragerø on 6 September, while the other four matches ended level.

What we called before the match came true. The home side was the clear favourite and held their nerve to secure a comfortable margin. The scoreline reflects a team that knows how to see out a game when the pressure is on.

The table now shows Halden with 10 points from five wins, and Asane still on 2 points. There is a ten-point gap between them, and it looks unlikely to close quickly. The home side are weighing up a move towards a more dominant position in the division.
