Kongsvinger Hit Fourteen in Historic Cup Win at Skreia

There was no mercy at the cup tie on 22 August 2026 as Kongsvinger demolished lower-league Skreia with an astonishing 14-2 away victory in the Norwegian SAS Braathens Cup. The match produced a remarkable goal glut and will be remembered as one of the most one-sided results in the tournament's recent history.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Kongsvinger showed their intent. Playing a high-tempo attacking game, they tore through the Skreia defence at will. The home side did manage to hit the back of the net twice themselves, but it was merely a footnote in a contest dominated entirely by the visitors, who racked up double figures in front of goal.

A Night of Goals and Records

Kongsvinger's attacking display was relentless. Players rotated in attack, with multiple scorers contributing to the fourteen-goal haul. Key highlights included:

• A hat-trick inside the first half-hour that effectively ended the contest early.
• Five goals in the first half, with the floodgates truly opening after the break.
• Nine further goals in the second period as Skreia's legs tired under constant pressure.
• Two spirited consolation goals from the hosts, which at least gave the home crowd something to celebrate.

How the Game Was Won

Kongsvinger's superior fitness, passing accuracy, and movement off the ball were decisive. They consistently found space between the lines and punished every defensive error. Skreia fought bravely, but the gap in quality and experience was simply too vast.

What This Means for the Cup

For Kongsvinger, the result is a powerful statement of their attacking strength and will send a warning to potential opponents in the next round. For Skreia, despite the heavy scoreline, the experience of hosting a cup tie against much higher-level opposition will be a memorable day for the club, even if the score was painful.

This 14-2 scoreline is exactly the kind of result that makes cup football so unpredictable and exciting — the dream of progress pitted against the harsh reality of competitive football.
