It appears that Sarpsborg 08 had a period of difficulty with two consecutive losses to Godset and Sandefjord. However, they managed to bounce back with a convincing victory against Odd, winning the match 3-0. Maigaard played a significant role in their success by scoring the opening two goals in the 38th and 53rd minutes, respectively. Meister further solidified their lead with a goal in the 90+2 minute. This victory helped Sarpsborg 08 regain their momentum and end their losing streak.
Currently sitting at 7th position in the league standings, they have accumulated 27 points from 19 games. Throughout the season, they have been able to score 33 goals but have also conceded the same number, making their goal difference balanced. This recent win should provide a boost to their confidence as they continue their campaign in the league.
