Vasteraas were ahead inside eight minutes after a busy opening. Matvei Igonen was booked in the fifth minute, and Ladefoged then converted the penalty at 7'40'' to put the hosts in front. Degerfors picked up more first-half yellow cards through Arman Taranis, Ludvig Fritzson and Daniel Sundgren, while Ladefoged and Mamadou Diagne also went into the book before the interval. The first-half summary was scrappy, but Vasteraas had the lead their crowd wanted.
The score changed again at 53'14'' when Baggesen finished for 2-0 with Lushaku providing the assist. Degerfors tried to shake things up with substitutions for Daniel Sundgren at the break, Elias Barsoum on 56'02'', and later Samba Diattara, Ludvig Fritzson and Kazper Karlsson. Another booking for Nahom Girmai and one for Robin Dzabic only added to the away side's problems.
Vasteraas also rotated after the second goal, replacing Baggesen, Madiou Keita, Ladefoged, Lushaku and Diagne as they closed out the result. The final stats, highlights and score underline a straightforward home win: an early breakthrough, a second-half clincher and no reply from Degerfors.
