SANDNES ULF-ODD 5–4
The Obos league team Sandnes Ulf waited with a goal celebration when they sent Odd out of the cup’s third round.
Odd took the lead in a match that contained five goals before the break. The 1st division team Sandnes Ulf then led 3-2, and in the second half the light blue continued to score. After 71 minutes, Vajebah Sakor added to make it 5-3 for the home team.
The goal rush caused NRK expert Alexander Schau to react.
– It’s a complete cocoon and tearing of everything that is normal behavior in a football match. no one can defend and everyone can score. Here you can actually hold your breath between each goal and not pass out, said Schau on the state channel’s cup broadcast.
And the teams weren’t done there. Ten minutes before the end, Faniel Tewelde reduced the score with his second score of the day. Mihajlo Ivancevic also netted twice for the Skien club. For Sandnes Ulf, Daniel Braut, Jarmund Kvernstuen (two) and Andreas Nyhagen scored in addition to Sakor.
Odd became the seventh elite series team to be kicked out of the cup. Sandefjord and Haugesund went out in the 1st round, while Bodø/Glimt, Rosenborg, Brann and Kristiansund lost their matches on Wednesday.
Hødd equalized at 1-1 ten minutes after a great long shot from Martin Håheim-Elveseter in the home match against Molde, but Sondre Granaas and Emil Breivik ensured victory for the visitors.
Reigning champion Molde advanced 3-1 over Hødd, while Viking crushed Tromsdalen 4-0. Strømsgodset progressed with a 4-0 win over elite league colleague Kristiansund.
