Throughout the first half, few created much threat, if any. They could still have opened the scoring, though, as Mateta rattled the post and Ismaila Sarr forced a save from Martin Borsheim. The match was deadlocked at half-time, but Mateta changed that shortly after the break, flicking Will Hughes’ looping volley beyond the ‘keeper. They again went close in the late stages as Daniel Munoz took his turn to hit the post, but Fredrikstad then responded with a huge chance of their own. They countered at pace, missing narrowly with a shot which could have turned a celebratory evening sour.
