In a tightly contested match, Viking FK edged out Kristiansund BK with a narrow 1-0 victory. The decisive goal came early in the second half, a testament to Viking's effective use of momentum after maintaining composure despite disciplinary issues in the first half. Kristiansund, with no yellow cards, demonstrated disciplined play but struggled to convert possession into effective attacking opportunities, highlighted by their inability to score.

Viking's offense revealed its clinical edge despite being marginally behind on corner kicks, with a total of six to Kristiansund's five. Their sole goal was the result of a focused and precise attack, addressing the home team's defensive lapses through quality shot selection. This efficiency in front of goal was a key difference-maker, compensating for Viking's higher foul count of ten, further manifested in the two yellow cards in the first half.

Kristiansund’s five offsides suggest an eagerness to break through Viking's defensive lines, yet their timing was off, leading to missed opportunities. Viking, contrastingly, maintained their discipline with just one offside, reflecting a more strategic approach in attack. Although the home team had a disciplined defensive display with only six fouls, their inability to penetrate Viking's defense resulted in a lacklustre offensive performance, which ultimately determined the outcome.
