Flekkerøy IL 4–3 Hinna
Norwegian 3. Divisjon | 14 June 2026

Flekkerøy IL edged a seven-goal thriller at home to Hinna, emerging 4–3 winners in a match that swung one way and then the other. The attacking display delighted the local fans but also exposed defensive frailties on both sides as the Norwegian 3. Divisjon served up an unforgettable contest.

Fast Start from Flekkerøy

The hosts flew out of the blocks and led 2–0 inside 15 minutes. First, striker Lars Nilsen tapped home from a cutback in the 7th minute, then winger Tobias Aas scored a stunning solo effort, dribbling past three defenders before slotting home. Hinna looked shell-shocked but slowly found their rhythm.

Hinna Fight Back

Hinna pulled one back in the 28th minute through a long-range strike from midfielder Per Magnus. They then equalised just before halftime when forward Sander Hauge converted a penalty after a clumsy challenge inside the box. The turnaround was complete in the 52nd minute when Hauge scored his second of the game, a close-range header from a corner to make it 3–2 to Hinna.

Flekkerøy Response

Rather than wilt, Flekkerøy showed character. Nilsen bagged his second of the match in the 64th minute to make it 3–3, tapping in after a goalmouth scramble. The winner came in the 78th minute: substitute midfielder Jonas Berge unleashed a fierce shot from 25 yards that dipped over the Hinna goalkeeper’s head. The final ten minutes were frantic, but Flekkerøy held on.

Star Players

• Lars Nilsen (Flekkerøy IL) – two goals, constant movement, and a handful for the Hinna defence.
• Sander Hauge (Hinna) – a brace ensured his team came close to an upset, but defensive lapses cost them.
• Jonas Berge (Flekkerøy IL) – the match-winner off the bench with a thunderbolt.

What It Means

The win lifts Flekkerøy IL into the top five in the 3. Divisjon, while Hinna drop to the lower half following a third consecutive defeat. For the neutrals, the 4–3 scoreline was a treat. For the coaches, the number of defensive mistakes will be a major talking point in the weeks ahead. With both teams capable of scoring freely, their upcoming fixtures promise more excitement.
