Sarpsborg were away at Jerv before the international break for what was a fantastic performance on the road. Maigaard put the visitors 1-0 up after 19-minutes and Sarpsborg never looked back from that point on. Soltvedt made it 2-0 in the 26th-minute and on the hour mark he netted his second of the game to make it 3-0. Odegaard looked to have completed the scoring in the 1st-minute of stoppage-time but teammate Molins added a 5th-goal of the game shortly after to wrap up a 5-0 victory.
Sarpsborg Predicted Lineup: Nilsen, Horn, Utvik, Halvorsen, Martinsson-Ngouali, Soltvedt, Salétros, Maigaard, Lindseth, Heintz & Opseth

Hove put the hosts in front after 22-minutes but a penalty from Beriska made the halftime scoreline 1-1.
