The match at Hinna’s home ground kicked off at 20:00 local time and quickly developed into an open contest. Hinna’s sharpness in the final third proved decisive, while Viking B showed flashes of quality but were ultimately undone by defensive lapses and the home side’s clinical finishing.

Match overview

Hinna could hardly have asked for a better start. In the 8th minute, Andreas Solheim latched onto a loose ball inside the area and gave the home side an early lead. The goal settled Hinna and they doubled their advantage in the 23rd minute when Marius Kvale finished off a flowing move down the right.

Viking B responded well to going two goals down. They pulled one back in the 39th minute through Henrik Stangeland, whose header gave the visitors a lifeline before the break.

Tactical story

Hinna’s victory was built on aggressive pressing and quick ball circulation. They won possession high up the pitch, forced Viking B into hurried clearances, and repeatedly attacked the spaces behind the visitors’ full-backs. Solheim and Kvale were particularly effective at finding gaps between the lines.

Viking B had their moments, especially after Stangeland’s goal before half-time. Their young side moved the ball well in spells and caused problems with direct running, but they struggled to contain Hinna’s counter-attacks. The third goal, conceded shortly after the restart, was a particularly damaging blow.

Standout performers

Andreas Solheim was the standout player of the match, scoring twice and leading the line with intelligence. Marius Kvale was also influential, combining well with the midfield and adding a goal of his own. Eirik Tveit made an impact from the bench with the late clincher.

For Viking B, Henrik Stangeland and Ola Røssland deserve credit for keeping the visitors competitive. Their goals ensured Hinna could not relax until the final stages.

Season impact

The three points will boost Hinna’s confidence and reinforce their reputation as one of the more dangerous attacking sides in the division. For Viking B, the defeat is a learning experience for a reserve team that continues to give young players valuable senior minutes.

In a league where home form can shape the season, Hinna’s ability to turn dominance into goals will be a major asset. Viking B, meanwhile, will focus on tightening up defensively after conceding four times on the road.
