Forde 2-1 Os Turn Fotball | Norwegian 3. Divisjon | 23 May 2026

Forde battled to a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Os Turn Fotball in a lively Norwegian 3. Divisjon encounter at the Forde Stadion on Saturday. The home side came from behind to take all three points, strengthening their position in the upper half of the table. Os Turn now face a fight to stay clear of the relegation quagmire.

Match Overview

The match started at a frenetic pace, with both teams eager to impose themselves. Os Turn Fotball took the lead midway through the first half when their striker controlled a long ball and fired past the Forde goalkeeper. Forde responded well and levelled just before halftime – a free kick was swung into the box and headed home by an unmarked defender. The second half was a scrappy affair, with few clear chances until Forde struck decisively in the 73rd minute. A neat one-two on the edge of the box created space for a low drive that beat the keeper at his near post.

Os Turn pushed for an equalizer in the final 15 minutes, forcing a couple of saves and seeing a header cleared off the line, but Forde held on for a vital win.

Key Moments

• 28' – 0-1: Os Turn’s No. 9 latched onto a long ball, held off a defender, and slotted low into the far corner.
