Sandefjord led 2-0 before Bodø/Glimt turned the match around for a 3-2 victory at Aspmyra Stadion in the Eliteserien. After the game, the players were clear in their assessment of why they dropped the points.

  • We were not good enough in the decisive situations, one of Sandefjord's key players told Bodø Nu., They are a good team, but we have to be better at holding onto a lead when we get it.

The match was decided in the second half after Jens Petter Hauge and Andreas Helmersen scored for the home side. Sandefjord pulled one back through Jakob Maslo Dunsby and then Evangelos Patoulidis in stoppage time, but it was not enough for a point.

The defeat means Sandefjord remain in 13th place in the Eliteserien with 20 points from 20 games. They are 30 points behind league leaders Bodø/Glimt. The team's recent standings show they have lost their last two matches after a run of draws.

Ahead of a key home game against Start on Sunday, who sit in 16th place, the squad has several absences to manage. Filip Loftesnes Bjune, Nikolaj Möller, Devon Koswal and Marcus Melchior are all sidelined. View the full squad and schedule on our fixtures page.

  • We have to regroup quickly and focus on what's next, the player said. The next opportunity comes at Jotun Arena against a team also fighting at the bottom of the table.
