Sandefjord B and Brumunddal played out an entertaining 2‑2 draw in the Norwegian 3.Division on 21 June 2026. The match at the Sandefjord Arena showcased a blend of youthful energy from the home side and resilient organisation from the visitors, who secured a valuable point on the road.

The second half followed a similar pattern: Sandefjord B restored their advantage in the 55th minute via a well‑worked team move finished by Tobias Berge, only for Brumunddal to hit back once more.
