Sarpsborg 08 1-2 Sandefjord result, stats and report

Sandefjord produced a composed second-half turnaround at Sarpsborg 08, winning 2-1 in the Norwegian Eliteserien despite being second best for large portions of the match. The result is a coaching puzzle worth unpacking.

Viking arrive in Sandefjord as one of the Eliteserien's most formidable forces this season, while the hosts find themselves in a difficult stretch of form that has left their campaign looking increasingly precarious.
