Viking secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Molde in the Norwegian Eliteserien on September 22, 2025. A solitary second-half goal was enough for the home side to claim all three points in a tense and closely matched contest at the Viking Stadion. The decisive moment came just after the hour mark, when Viking's pressure finally told as a low cross from the right was turned in from close range by a striker. Molde, who had several chances of their own, pushed for an equalizer but found Viking's goalkeeper in inspired form, making a spectacular save in the dying minutes to preserve the lead. The win provided a significant boost for Viking's European qualification hopes, while dealing a blow to Molde's title ambitions.
