Elias Hadaya stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Kimi Løkkevik keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Sarpsborg 08 may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Harald Nilsen Tangen in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sarpsborg 08 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

5 academy graduates step up at Sarpsborg 08

Elias Hadaya gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Sarpsborg 08 promote Fredrik Ajer from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Fredrik Ajer has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
