The breakthrough arrived in a hectic spell before the interval. Fredrikstad's Fanuel Ghebreyohannes Yrga Alem went into the book at 43', and moments later Bodoe/Glimt were awarded a penalty after a VAR review at 45'. Blomberg kept his nerve from the spot, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead that matched the half-time score.
Fredrikstad reacted immediately after the restart, sending on Gabriel Wesseh for Salim Laghzaoui at the break, but their push was interrupted by another caution when Benjamin Thoresen Faraas was booked in the 49th minute. Bodoe/Glimt's Sondre Auklend also saw yellow at 58' as the game remained tight.
Changes followed on both benches. Oscar Skari Hansen entered for Leonard Owusu before Bodoe/Glimt introduced Jens Petter Hauge, Patrick Berg and Andreas Helmersen in a triple switch around the 69th minute. Fredrikstad continued to rotate, while late bookings for Simen Rafn and Martin Borsheim underlined the pressure of the closing stages.
A second VAR decision went against Bodoe/Glimt at 82', this time ruling no penalty, but the score did not move again. The highlights and summary were built around that single first-half strike, and the final stats will show a narrow win that never slipped from the leaders' grasp.
