Vindbjart saw off Flakkeøy 2-1 in their NM Cup Round 1 clash on Friday evening at Mossesdømmen. The home side took the lead through B. Liltved Hoel in the eighteenth minute before D. S. Gummedal doubled their advantage just before the interval. Flakkeøy responded with a late goal of their own, but T. Knutsen's ninety-second-minute finish proved enough to secure the result.
Hoel opened the scoring from the resulting corner, and Vindbjart held their composure through a period where the visitors had more of the ball. Gummedal made it two before the break, and here's the thing — Flakkeøy had fifty-five per cent possession but could not find their way through a disciplined defence. By then the momentum had shifted firmly in the hosts' favour.
The statistics tell a story of efficiency over dominance. Vindbjart registered five shots on target and scored twice, while Flakkeøy managed four on target for a single reply. The away side launched seventy-two attacks against sixty, yet those extra possessions did not translate into chances. Both sides picked up yellow cards, with three for Flakkeøy and two for their hosts.
Vindbjart's recent form has been uneven — a heavy defeat to Start in February followed by a five-two victory over Vidar — but this performance suggested a side that knows how to grind out results. Flakkeøy arrive here with mixed results too, including that three-one win over Bård but also that four-nil loss to Sanness. The cup task is far from over for either club.
The result moves Vindbjart into the next stage while Flakkeøy's cup campaign comes to an abrupt end. The goal difference speaks for itself: two goals scored, one conceded, and a late winner that will be remembered long after the final whistle.
