Moss held off with a 3-2 victory against Kongsvinger and is ready for the final hurdle in the qualification for Eliteserien. The Moss team can now reach the top division for the first time since 2002.
Sunday, December 1 at 15:55
Kongsvinger managed at the last minute to scrape through to sixth place in the 1st division which gave them a promotion qualification, but after victories in qualification against Lyn and Egersund, it came to a halt in Moss.
Two KIL own goals and a good Sebastian Pedersen for Moss made the difference between the teams, in a match where Kongsvinger managed to create tension until the very end.
Moss scored early in both halves, after six minutes when an unfortunate Jesper Grundt put the ball into his own net and after 46 minutes when Sebastian Pedersen scored via a KIL leg after a cheeky turn.
Lucas Haren reduced with a penalty kick shortly after, but then Kongsvinger scored another own goal when Fredrik Holmé sent the ball into his own net after a clever jump over by Pedersen.
After just over an hour, Haren scored again, with a goal that possibly was offside, but despite some good KIL chances toward the end, no further goals came.
Now Moss will play a double match against the team that ends in 14th place in Eliteserien, which most likely will be Haugesund. The matches will be played on Thursday and Sunday next week.
Moss has not played in the top division in Norway since 2002 and was all the way down in the 3rd division in 2017.
