Åsane had fun at their own home (Øster Hus Arena) last time out, beating Skeid 3-2. Steen, Austevoll and Nygård scored. That victory felt nice as this club had gone three league matches without victory. What a finish in the last match, as Åsane came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Nygård's goal in the 90th minute. The end of the last match, against Skeid, was very satisfying as Nygård scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Mjøndalen that ended 1-1.
