How the Game Unfolded

Varhaug struck first in the 12th minute when forward Andreas Sæther slotted home from a tight angle. They doubled their lead before half-time through a header from a set piece. Staal Jorpeland came out stronger after the break and pulled one back in the 58th minute via a powerful shot from midfielder Lars Berntsen. However, any hopes of a comeback were dashed when Varhaug scored twice in quick succession — a solo run in the 72nd minute and a penalty in the 80th — to restore their three-goal cushion.
