Sarpsborg 08 FF – Viking

Sarpsborg 08 kept their slim hopes alive with a 1‑0 home win over second‑placed Viking, nudging their points tally to 25 and maintaining their ninth‑place standing. The victory was a rare bright spot in a campaign that has seen them record just six wins, seven draws and seven defeats, leaving them with a goal difference of minus three. Viking, meanwhile, remained well ahead in the table with 47 points from 15 wins, but the loss halted their momentum and left them still perched in second place with a healthy +31 goal difference. The two sides have split their head‑to‑head meetings this season, each claiming one win, and Sarpsborg’s narrow triumph now gives them a sliver of confidence as the league progresses.
