Kongsvinger IL B 3–5 Skjetten Fotball: Goal Fest in Norwegian 3. Divisjon

The Norwegian 3. Divisjon served up a nine‑goal thriller on 16 June 2026 as Skjetten Fotball outgunned Kongsvinger IL B 5‑3 at the Gjemselund Stadion. The match was played at a frenetic pace from the first whistle, with Skjetten’s attacking trio proving too sharp for a youthful Kongsvinger reserve side.

Match Overview

The opening exchanges were cagey, but once the first goal arrived in the 11th minute – a neat finish from Skjetten striker Mats Sivertsen – the floodgates opened. Kongsvinger B equalised through Simen Berg just four minutes later, but Skjetten restored their lead before half‑time with a well‑worked corner. The second half became an end‑to‑end contest, with both sides committing numbers forward.

Key Moments

• 11' – Sivertsen opens the scoring for Skjetten.
• 15' – Berg equalises for the home side with a low drive.
• 35' – Skjetten’s Eirik Lund fires in from the edge of the box.
• 52' – Kongsvinger B level again through Olav Kristiansen.
• 61' – Skjetten strike twice in three minutes: Andreas Solberg and Mats Sivertsen again.
• 78' – Kongsvinger B reduce the deficit, but Eirik Lund wraps up his brace in stoppage time.

Tactical Story

Kongsvinger IL B’s inexperienced defence struggled to cope with Skjetten’s quick, vertical passing. Skjetten operated in a 4‑3‑3 that constantly stretched the pitch, while Kongsvinger’s 4‑4‑2 left them exposed in central areas. The visitors’ pressing forced errors, and their ability to counter‑attack with pace proved decisive.

Standout Players

• Mats Sivertsen (Skjetten) – Two goals and an assist; a constant menace.
• Eirik Lund (Skjetten) – Two clinical strikes from midfield.
• Olav Kristiansen (Kongsvinger B) – Worked tirelessly but lacked support.

Table Impact

Skjetten’s victory moves them into the top half of the 3. Divisjon table, while Kongsvinger IL B remain anchored near the bottom. The result underlines Skjetten’s high‑scoring reputation – they have now netted 18 goals in their last five away games.
