Odd Sweep Egersund Aside in Commanding 5–1 Promotion Six-Pointer
ODD Ballklubb put on a five-star show at Skagerak Arena on Sunday, thrashing Egersund 5–1 in a crucial 1. Divisjon clash. Andersen K. grabbed a brace as Odd dominated after the break, winning 3–0 in the second half. The victory strengthens Odd's promotion credentials with four home games still to play.
A Statement Performance at Skagerak Arena
Odd Ballklubb produced one of their most convincing home displays of the 2026 season on Sunday, running out 5–1 winners against Egersund in the 1. Divisjon's Round 23. The match, played in front of 2,714 spectators at Skagerak Arena in Skien, was never really in doubt after the home side found their rhythm.
Egersund drew first blood through Lynum J. in the second minute, but Odd responded swiftly. Jørgensen pulled the hosts level on 18 minutes before Andersen K. put Odd ahead just before the half-hour mark, sending the sides into the break at 2–1.
Second Half Demolition
Odd were ruthless after the restart. Bojadzic added a third on 55 minutes, Andersen K. struck again two minutes later for his second of the afternoon, and Tevelde wrapped up a commanding victory on 71 minutes. The final scoreline of 5–1 tells the story of a team very much in the ascendancy at their Skien fortress.
The result moves Odd firmly back into the promotion conversation in the 1. Divisjon, with the club sitting in a strong position as the season enters its decisive final stretch.
Promotion Push Gathering Momentum
With four home games still remaining on the Skagerak Arena calendar — including upcoming fixtures against Bryne, Strømmen, and Sandnes Ulf — the atmosphere in Skien is building. The club has been urging supporters to book tickets early as autumn pressure mounts and every point takes on greater significance.
Sunday's performance will give fans plenty of reason to pack the stands for the run-in. Under-18s continue to enter free of charge, with reduced prices available for seniors, students, and supporters with disabilities. Tickets are on sale through the club's official channels.
