Match25 Nov 2026

Sarpsborg 08 bow out of the cup

Viking go through and Sarpsborg 08 go home, 2‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Both of them Daniel Karlsbakk's — 8.96

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.96, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market30 Nov 2026

Eirik Wichne has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Sarpsborg 08 they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Eivind Willumsen says Sarpsborg 08 went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Daniel Karlsbakk is carrying Sarpsborg 08

19 goals and a season average of 7.36. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Sarpsborg 08

Peter Reinhardsen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Remember the name: Michael Opoku

He is 21, he is averaging 7.02, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

The terraces30 Nov 2026

Sarpsborg 08 supporters have found a favourite in Daniel Karlsbakk

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Daniel Karlsbakk has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Mamour N'Diaye

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mamour N'Diaye, and the manager let it.

Match17 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for Sarpsborg 08

10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market19 Oct 2026

Only the photograph left for Peter Reinhardsen

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Peter Reinhardsen will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sarpsborg 08 the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Sarpsborg 08

Peter Reinhardsen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match17 Oct 2026

Sondre Sørli’s goal not enough for Sarpsborg 08

Sondre Sørli scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Odd, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Sondre Sørli runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Sondre Rossbach 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.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Patrick Pedersen faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Patrick Pedersen after 1‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Mamour N'Diaye asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market19 Oct 2026

The clock does Eirik Wichne’s negotiating for him

2 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Sarpsborg 08 could ask drops and the wages Eirik Wichne can ask rise.
