End‑to‑end opening

Both teams showed attacking intent from the first minute.

Striker Eirik Solberg latched onto a long ball and drilled a low equaliser.

Djerv 1919 showed tremendous character and equalised for a third time, substitute Henrik Vold scoring with a neat finish. With the match poised at 3–3, it looked as though the points would be shared. But Fana had other ideas. In the 84th minute, a corner was only half‑cleared, and defender Sondre Myklebust stabbed the ball home from close range.

Late survival
