In the previous round, it was Brann who was allowed to undergo. On Wednesday, Viking had to leave Levanger without a cup ticket in their luggage.
Håvard Lorentsen and Ådne Bruseth became the big heroes with each scoring in extra time.
– Fantastic. Almost surreal. A couple of years ago we were on the brink of bankruptcy and now we are here, says Lorentsen to NRK.

By then, Levanger had led twice in regular time, but Viking had come back.
– It is very disappointing. Levanger were good and we were not good enough, says Viking coach Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim to NRK.
With ten minutes to go. Viking stopper Djibril Diop was sent off after holding back a Levanger player as the back man.
Prior to this, Viking had reacted strongly in regular time against referee Marius Lien. The away team had a goal disallowed for handball, which, based on the TV images, turned out to be a handball on a Levanger player.
Per Verner Rønning and his Levanger are thus further in the cup. Sandnes Ulf is the only team from Rogaland to continue in the cup.
