Lillestrom advanced in the Norwegian SAS Braathens Cup with a professional 2-0 away victory over Ham-Kam on March 8, 2026. Two second-half goals were enough for the visitors to see off their Eliteserien rivals and progress to the next round of the cup competition. The first half was a cagey affair with both teams sizing each other up, resulting in few clear chances. Lillestrom took control after the interval, breaking the deadlock with a headed goal from a corner. Ham-Kam tried to mount a response but left themselves exposed at the back, allowing Lillestrom to seal the match result with a breakaway goal in the final ten minutes. The cup exit is a disappointment for Ham-Kam, while Lillestrom can look forward to the next draw. The Lillestrom coach was pleased with his team's mature performance away from home, while the Ham-Kam manager credited the better team on the day.
