Key Moments

• 16th minute – Heming strike first: A corner from the right found midfielder Erik Solberg unmarked at the near post; his glancing header nestled into the net.
• 33rd minute – Hemings doubles lead: A defensive mix‑up allowed winger Jonas Eriksen to intercept a pass, dribble into the box and fire low past Lommedalens keeper Daniel Kristiansen.
• 52nd minute – Third goal for Heming: A sweeping move from left to right ended with striker Andreas Berg hammering a shot from 18 yards into the top corner.
• 78th minute – Lommedalens consolation: Substitute forward Stian Pedersen pounced on a loose ball after a free‑kick and smashed a volley home from eight yards.

Tactical Story

Heming controlled the tempo from the first whistle, using quick one‑touch passing to bypass Lommedalens’ midfield press. The visitors’ 4‑3‑3 allowed their wide players to isolate full‑backs, and they created overloads effectively. Lommedalens struggled to retain possession under pressure and were often forced into long balls. In the second half, they switched to a more direct style and were rewarded with the late goal, but Heming’s defence, led by captain Eirik Nordmo, stood firm.

Standout Performances

Heming’s Andreas Berg was a handful for the Lommedalens backline, scoring one and providing the assist for the third. Midfield engine room Lars Frederiksen completed 89% of his passes. For Lommedalens, young forward Stian Pedersen injected energy off the bench and earned a deserved goal.

Cup Context

Heming, a side from the Norwegian second tier, now face a third‑round tie against an Eliteserien opponent. Lommedalens, competing in the regional leagues, can be proud of their cup run – this was the first time they had reached the second round in six years.
