16 May 2023 at 21:46 Viking turned around for a 3-2 victory over Odd – Tripic scored on a controversial penalty Viking struggled for a long time at home against stingy Odd, but turned the match to 3-2 thanks to two penalty scores and a late goal by Sander Svendsen. There was full jubilation among the home fans in Stavanger when Svendsen plunged in the winning goal in the 87th minute. The victory sent Viking up to 2nd place in the elite series table. The Odd fans had more reason to be disappointed, perhaps particularly because of the last of Zlatko Tripic’s two penalties. VAR was called in to check whether Milan Jevtovic’s hand happened inside the 16-metre area, and referee Kristoffer Hagenes chose to award a penalty even though the replays broadcast on TV suggested that the Odd player’s arm was well on the outside. – I think both penalty kicks, especially the second one, are wrong. Firstly, it’s offside, and secondly, the ball goes via his foot, which is legal. I think it’s a bit disappointing, when they look at VAR, that they don’t see it, Odd coach Pål Arne Johansen told TV 2. Tripic, on the other hand, was mostly concerned with scoring. – I didn’t like that they spent so much time on the situation, because then there were many people who tried to psych me out. But I have confidence in penalties, said the Viking attacker.
