Haugesund produced a stunning attacking masterclass as they thrashed Strommen 7-0 at Strømmen Stadion on May 21, 2026, in a Norwegian 1.Divisjon match that will live long in the memory of the travelling fans. The visitors were utterly dominant from the first whistle, tearing apart the home defence with pace, precision, and clinical finishing.

Brutal First Half

Haugesund did not take long to assert their dominance. After just seven minutes, Alexander Støl opened the scoring with a composed finish after a quick one-two with Mads Håland. The floodgates opened soon after: in the 15th minute, Kristian Fardal doubled the lead with a header from a corner. By the 25th minute, Haugesund were 3-0 up, when Mads Håland fired home from the edge of the area following a defensive mistake.

Strommen had no answer to Haugesund’s relentless pressure. The fourth goal arrived in the 32nd minute as Vegard Løvås pounced on a loose ball and slotted past the stranded goalkeeper. Haugesund added a fifth just before half-time when Alexander Støl completed his brace with a clinical left-footed strike, making it 5-0 at the interval.

Second Half Rout

Any hopes of a Strommen revival were extinguished early in the second half. Haugesund continued to press, and in the 53rd minute, Mads Håland scored his second of the match, a header from a cross by Jonas Berge. The home side’s misery was compounded in the 67th minute when substitute Even Tønnessen added a seventh, curling a shot into the far corner after a well-worked team move.

Strommen managed only one shot on target the entire match, a tame effort easily saved by Haugesund goalkeeper Mats Selin. The visitors’ defence was rarely troubled, allowing them to focus on attacking with abandon.
