It looked like it would be a draw between Sarpsborg 08 and Fredrikstad, but Victor Halvorsen appeared on the scene. Halvorsen argued the ball over the goal line, but the joy was short-lived as the assistant referee waved offside. After several minutes of VAR review, it was deemed a goal for Sarpsborg, and the entire stadium erupted. – I thought it was offside at first, but then the referee was very careful. Then I thought it could be a goal here, says the goal scorer to TV 2. The win was not without drama for Sarpsborg. After both teams scored in the first half, they were sent to the locker room after an unidentified drone appeared on the stadium. The drone appeared on the second half of the second half. According to TV 2, it was a young boy who had driven the drone outside the stadium. On the way to the locker room, there was a full-blown fire between players and coaches. Sarpsborg 08 coach Even Sel told TV 2 after the tumult that there was a lot of engagement and feelings. – It seemed like we got control of it, he added. According to FFK coach Andreas Hagen, there was more than just engagement and feelings in the air. – Things were said that are not acceptable. We need to take that after the match, says FFK coach Andreas Hagen to TV 2. When the teams entered the pitch for the second half, fireworks were sent up from the away supporters. The referee chose to send the teams back to the locker room again, before they could start the second half a few minutes later. Before the drama, a entertaining first half was played on Sarpsborg stadium. Fredrik Holme sent the guests in the lead after 17 minutes. A long pass from FFK was attempted to be cleared, but the ball landed in the feet of Rocco Shein, who released a shot. The ball went straight into the block before landing just in front of Holme, who headed the ball into the goal from close range. After 41 minutes, Sondre Sørli made a good pass that ended with Victor Halvorsen, who unmarked on the far post could put in the equalizer. On the brink of the second half, it became more dramatic when Sarpsborg 08 got the decisive goal on the second half of the second half. – We started a bit slow, so it's great to get three points. Especially against Fredrikstad, says Halvorsen about the win. With the win, Sarpsborg passed Fredrikstad on the table.
