Impressive finishing from Veton Berisha (2) secured the home win 2-1 against Sandefjord in their previous game. A heroic performance from Viking in their game against Sandefjord last time out. Things got complicated when Patrik Sigurdur Gunnarsson was sent off in the 19th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory! Attacker Veton Berisha got a player rating of 9.15 in the game. "Man of the match" Berisha scored two goals and hit four key passes.
