In an intensely contested match, Fredrikstad FK clinched a 2-1 victory over Lillestrom SK, largely owing to their effective use of opportunities in the second half. While both teams managed to maintain an equal number of corner kicks, their conversion rates of key chances were decisive. Fredrikstad FK capitalized on critical moments with two well-timed goals at 50 and 77 minutes, showcasing their strategic positioning and cohesive attacking play.

Lillestrom SK managed to equalize briefly at the 59th minute, demonstrating resilience and their ability to respond under pressure. However, their inability to maintain momentum coupled with the disciplined defensive regime of Fredrikstad FK restricted them to only one goal. Both teams displayed disciplined defense, committing a mere three fouls each, but Fredrikstad was perhaps more fortunate in terms of defensive organization and concentration at crucial times.

Discipline—or the lack thereof—played a critical role throughout the match, with a total of seven yellow cards distributed between the teams. Fredrikstad FK received four yellow cards, reflecting some overzealous tackling and aggressive pressure tactics, yet they succeeded in balancing aggression without incurring any red cards. Notably, Lillestrom acquired three yellow cards, with one immediately following Fredrikstad's decisive second goal, indicating a momentary lapse in composure. This suggests that emotional control and maintaining focus in high-pressure scenarios were pivotal in influencing the outcome in Fredrikstad's favor.
