Skagerak Arena Rocks as Odd Demolish Egersund 5–1
ODD Ballklubb turned on the style at Skagerak Arena on Sunday evening, thrashing Egersund 5–1 in a high-stakes six-pointer in the 2026 OBOS-ligaen. The home side came from a goal down to lead 2–1 at the break before running riot in the second half, keeping their promotion ambitions firmly alive with three home games still to play.
Five Goals and a Statement Night
Odd Ballklubb delivered one of their most commanding home performances of the 2026 OBOS-ligaen season on Sunday, sweeping aside Egersund 5–1 at Skagerak Arena in a crucial six-pointer that sent a clear message to the rest of the 1. Division promotion field.
Egersund drew first blood early on, but Odd hit back quickly and never looked back, leading 2–1 at half-time before pulling away emphatically in the second half to seal a dominant victory in front of the home faithful in Skien.
A Six-Pointer That Delivered
With the 1. Division promotion race tightly bunched, Sunday's match had been billed as one of the most significant home fixtures of the autumn campaign. Odd rose to the occasion, turning Skagerak Arena into a fortress and pocketing all three points in a match that had direct implications on the standings.
The result continues what has been an intense and often dramatic home campaign at the 11,767-capacity stadium. Odd had drawn 1–1 with Strømsgodset in their previous home outing on September 5, making Sunday's emphatic victory all the more vital.
Eyes on the Run-In
With the win secured, attention now turns to the final stretch of the home calendar. Three home games remain at Skagerak Arena this season, beginning with the visit of Bryne on October 11. After that, Odd welcome Strømmen and Sandnes Ulf before the curtain comes down on the home campaign.
The atmosphere and momentum built on Sunday evening will be something the club looks to harness as the season reaches its defining weeks. Supporters are encouraged to book early for the Bryne fixture and pack out the stands as Odd push for promotion.
