Before the start of the match between the two rivals, a fight broke out between the supporters. In addition, pyrotechnics and buckets were thrown, among other things, while the police responded with, among other things, tear gas to separate the groups. Sarpsborg 08 asked to move the match from Sunday afternoon to Saturday. They hoped the local settlement would be a party for the whole town, and did not fear that there would be a row.

But that we take our precautions – of course we do, because there are many people who will gather, said chairman Hans Petter Arnesen in Sarpsborg 08 to news. – It must be a safe event for everyone. Little action on the pitch And the football match itself could best be described as just that: a match. The first half was characterized by stoppages in the game, hard duels and high noise levels. There was a lot of fire both in the stands and on the pitch in Sarpsborg. Photo: NTB Before the break, there was only one tendency towards a goal chance, and it was signed by the Sarpinges. The game clock showed ten minutes played when Daniel Job suddenly ended up alone against Fredrikstad goalkeeper Jonathan Fischer, but it could almost look as if the Nigerian’s nerves were taking over. A pressured finish ended with a throw-in(!) for FFK. Took off The second half, on the other hand, was to explode when it was only three minutes old. An ugly mispass from S08 keeper Carl-Johan Eriksson ended up right at the feet of Morten Bjørlo, who sped up on the left side. He put in in front of the goal, where Henrik Skogvold came sliding. The new signing scored his first Fredrikstad goal, and then things really took off in the away stands. The Fredrikstad players cheer for Henrik Skogvold’s goal.

Throughout the season, Fredrikstad has proven to be one of the better defensive teams in the Eliteserien, and Saturday night was no exception. A packed Sarpsborg stadium saw a home team that was unable to put Fischer in the FFK cage on any major trials, with the exception of when Sarpsborg were awarded a penalty in overtime after Jo Inge Berge headed the ball apparently into the hand of Simen Rafn.

Got a restraining order The police have previously called the settlement a risk fight. Earlier this week, the police sent letters banning visitors to eight supporters, in an attempt to prevent disturbances. Four from Sarpsborg and four from Fredrikstad. There they were told that they were not allowed to be in the stadium or the surrounding areas between 16:00 and 24:00 on the day of the match. In the same letter, it is stated that a breach of the visiting ban could result in fines or imprisonment for up to one year. – By using this tool, we believe that we can prevent unwanted incidents before and during the match, said police attorney John Skarpeid in the East police district to news. The police attorney said that the eight supporters have either previously been punished or have ongoing criminal cases involving violence. The police on the scene before the local settlement. Photo: NTB Kastet bluss The cases stem, among other things, from the first match between Sarpsborg 08 and Fredrikstad in April, and from the match between Fredrikstad and Odd at the end of August. There, an Odd supporter suffered a fractured face after being punched. That match is best remembered for what happened off the turf. Several people were fined and banned after they threw flares from Sarpsborg’s stand onto the pitch. Sarpsborg 08 was fined NOK 120,000 after the flare throwing.
