Sandefjord has proved very good at home lately and had won the last three on their own turf in an impressive way, against Viking, Bodø / Glimt and Sarpsborg 08 respectively.
Against Haugesund, they took the lead after half played the first half. An attack ended up with Sander Risan Mørk in the field. The 20-year-old knocked, and the ball whizzed in behind Haugesund goalkeeper Egil Selvik.

– The ball ended up in my legs, so then it was just to knock. It was nice to see it go in, says Risan Mørk to Discovery during the break.
The home team held the lead until a quarter of an hour into the second half. Kristoffer Velde’s corner kick was kicked into the net behind Jacob Storevik. It first looked like FKH stopper Ulrik Fredriksen was last on it, but the replays showed that it was an own goal by Alexander Ruud Tveter.

Both teams chased a winning goal, but failed to produce the great opportunities. Thus, it ended with points sharing in Sandefjord.
– We would have liked to have had the victory, but take one point as it was, says tonight’s Haugesund captain Sondre Liseth to Discovery after the match.
He acted as captain in the absence of Benjamin Tiedemann Hansen.
– The fact that we include one point when our attack does not work, is a strength, says Sandefjord coach Andreas Tegström.
