Kolstad Force Third Match Against Bergen

Kolstad secured a crucial 33-30 victory over Bergen in handball, keeping their title hopes alive by forcing a third and decisive match in the semifinals. Bergen had shocked Kolstad by winning the first match in Trondheim, giving them a chance to clinch the series at home, but Kolstad pulled away after halftime despite dramatic final minutes from Bergen.

Despite financial struggles and losing key players like Simen Lyse and Andreas Palicka this season, Kolstad maintained their status as favorites. Simon Jeppsson returned with seven goals, while captain Sigvaldi Björn Gudjonsson was back in the squad but remained on the bench. Kolstad had to overcome the loss of Magnus Gullerud to a red card and held firm against Bergen's numerous power-play opportunities. argolida.life
