Early flashpoints came through the referee's notebook. Markus Seehusen Karlsbakk was shown a yellow card for Lillestroem in the 14th minute, and Fredrikstad's Max Nilsson was cautioned at 42'. After the restart, Lillestroem moved first from the bench, introducing Va and Kevin Martin Krygard before the hour. Fredrikstad then picked up quick bookings for Simen Rafn at 59' and Daniel Eid at 60'.
Those moments were followed by the decisive blow. Nyheim put Lillestroem in front on 61 minutes after being set up by Salieu Drammeh, and the away side tightened its grip just over 10 minutes later when Lehne Olsen finished from Va's assist to make it 2-0. Fredrikstad responded with changes, sending on Leonard Owusu, Johannes Andres Hummelvoll-Nunez, Jonathan Vonheim Norbye, Aleksander Andresen and Joachim Emmanuel Valcin Nysveen, but the home side could not change the result.
Lillestroem then managed the closing stages with late substitutions, withdrawing Lehne Olsen, Nyheim and Drammeh as they saw out the clean sheet and completed an efficient away summary.
