The Sandefjord Sentinel
Match1 Aug 2026
A hiding for Sandefjord
Beaten 0‑3 by Brann, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Sandefjord turn down Kristiansund for Sander Risan Mørk
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Elias Hadaya signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Elias Hadaya and Sandefjord agree another 4 years.

A falling-out at Sandefjord
Evangelos Patoulidis and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Player ratings3 Aug 2026
The game went through Mathias Sauer — 6.50
Marked 6.50 on 11 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
Squad3 Aug 2026
100 appearances for Vetle Walle Egeli
100 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Nobody left the Sandefjord dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Still no ink between Sandefjord and Evangelos Patoulidis
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Sandefjord, another week without a signature from Evangelos Patoulidis.

Too much change too quickly at Sandefjord
27 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
In brief
- The dugout Bjorn Ajer answers for it
- The dugout Evangelos Patoulidis knocks on the manager’s door
- Market No place for Bendik Berntsen in the plan
