MOLDE, Norway (Interstat) — Stromsgodset secured a 2-1 upset victory over Molde in a NOR NM Cupen match at Aker Stadion on Saturday, March 14, 2026, defying heavy pregame odds.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 2-0 win for Molde, which was given an 87.30 percent probability to win by the same service’s ELO system. Instead, the visiting side from Drammen earned the road result.

Molde opened the scoring early with a goal from Ola Brynhildsen in the first minute, followed by strikes from Eric Bugale Kitolano in the fifth minute and Emil Varhaugvik Breivik in the 26th. Stromsgodset’s comeback effort was aided by a yellow card issued to Herman Sørby Stengel in the 67th minute.

The result leaves both teams with identical 1-1 records in this season’s NM Cupen competition.
