Match

Andreas Dybevik leads the rout of Skeid

3‑0, and Andreas Dybevik took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Kongsvinger tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

Both of them Andreas Dybevik's — 8.15

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.15, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Patrick Wik delivers — 7.34

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Patrick Wik scored, was marked 7.34, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Match

Nobody wants to play Kongsvinger right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Leon Hovland 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 Kongsvinger this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Kongsvinger

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Transfer targets

Egersund tell Kongsvinger: Sebastian Hansen is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Patrick Wik

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Bjorn Odegaard steps up from the Kongsvinger academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bjorn Odegaard has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
