Stabæk put on an unforgettable show at the Nadderud Stadion, annihilating Hodd with a stunning 6–0 victory in the Norwegian 1. Divisjon on 28 July 2026. The result emphatically ended a two‑game winless run for Stabæk and underlined their credentials as genuine promotion contenders.

Goal‑Fest from the First Whistle

Stabæk started with incredible intensity and had the lead within five minutes. A quick corner routine found Marius Lundemo unmarked at the near post, and he flicked the ball into the net from close range. The early goal deflated Hodd, and Stabæk doubled their advantage in the 13th minute. Winger Oliver Valaker Edvardsen cut inside from the left and unleashed a powerful shot that flew into the top corner, leaving Hodd’s goalkeeper no chance.

The rout continued before half‑time. In the 28th minute, striker Kasper Hämäläinen scored a tap‑in after a cross from the right was misjudged by the Hodd defence. Three minutes later, Edvardsen grabbed his second of the night, curling a free‑kick over the wall and in. At 4‑0, the game was effectively over, but Stabæk did not take their foot off the pedal.

Second‑Half Carnage

Hodd made three substitutions at half‑time in an attempt to stem the tide, but Stabæk continued to dominate. Lundemo scored his second of the game in the 52nd minute, heading home from a corner after Hodd failed to clear. Stabæk’s sixth goal came in the 68th minute – a rare strike from centre‑back Nicolas Pignatel Jenssen, who volleyed home from a set‑piece as the defence parted.

Stabæk finished with 62% possession, 21 shots (14 on target), and ten corners. Hodd managed just two shots, none on goal. It was a complete demolition of a side that had conceded only 11 goals in their previous 13 matches.

Standout Performers

• Oliver Valaker Edvardsen – Two goals and one assist, constantly troubling Hodd’s defence with his dribbling and dead‑ball delivery.
• Marius Lundemo – A brace from midfield, winning several second‑balls and imposing his physical presence.
• Kasper Hämäläinen – Scored one, set up another, and led the line brilliantly.

Table Implications

The thumping win lifts Stabæk to third place in the 1. Divisjon, now level on points with second‑placed Raufoss but with a vastly superior goal difference. For a club that suffered relegation from the Eliteserien two years ago, this performance signals a serious intent to return. Hodd, meanwhile, drop to 10th place, just five points above the relegation play‑off spot. They will need to regroup quickly after such a heavy defeat.

Stabæk’s attacking firepower will worry the rest of the division – they have now scored 16 goals in their last four home games. Next up for Stabæk is a tricky trip to Moss, while Hodd host bottom‑side Start in what has become a must‑win game.
