An ex-Glimt player decided when the jumbo board Sandefjord won the series leader Bodø/Glimt – Dagsavisen

The win, however, only puts Sandefjord ahead of Haugesund in the table, who have played three fewer games. Admittedly, only one point separates Tromsø from safe ground.

The win was also Sandefjord’s first in nine games. The last time they ran away with three points was a 4-1 home win over Sarpsborg 08 on 12 May. Glimt’s side had won three straight in the league before Saturday’s loss.

The yellow jerseys are still at the top of the table, but they will lose valuable points in the gold medal game. After half time, five points between Molde in second place, which also succeeded in withdrawing to Fredrikstad.

Alexander Ruud Tveter put the hosts ahead after just under half an hour, before Stian Kristiansen doubled the lead just before the hour mark. Patrick Berg reduced immediately after, but it was still not enough to avoid the embarrassing loss for Glimt.

– It is extremely delicious. I said before the game that we had good conditions to do well, so it’s nice. I am so happy and proud of the boys, Kristiansen told TV 2 after the win.

– It’s really nice to score the 2-1 goal, he continued.

Sandefjord had a great chance after 13 minutes when Nikita Haikin sent the ball straight to Eman Markovic. Unfortunately for the hosts, Jostein Gundersen ran up and quickly grabbed the ball. Glimt’s stoppage also sent Markovic to the ground, leaving the Sandefjord players shouting for a penalty. They didn’t, even after VAR was turned on.

Four minutes

After just under half an hour, however, it was all for the blue shirts when Filip Ottosson intercepted the ball and passed it to Markovics, who passed to Ruud Tveter. The forward was safe as usual when he hit a shot through Odin Bjørtuft into the goal.

– It was good to score, I hope there will be more in the second half, Ruud Tveter told TV 2 during the break.

After the break, Glimt made three substitutions: Nino Zugelj, Fredrik Bjørkan and Jens Petter Hauge came on for Brice Wembangomo, Adam Sørensen and Adam Sørensen.

However, Zugelj’s entry did not last more than four minutes, before he was injured and had to be replaced by Oscar Kapskarmo.

– In ecstasy

With the clock about to run out, the home crowd could once again let out their cheers when former Glimt player Kristiansen headed home a free-kick from Ottosson.

– A great game by the Sandefjord team to deliver this. Bodø/Glimt in trouble, Sandefjord in ecstasy, exclaimed TV 2 commentator Amund Lutnæs.

In March, Kristiansen was sold from Glimt to Sandefjord, where he scored three goals in 15 games for the home club.

Glimt quickly retreated, however, when Berg felled him with a cannonball just minutes later. Admittedly, it was the Vikings’ only goal of the game, and Kjetil Knutsen’s men had to accept the crushing defeat.
