FK Haugesund (W) 2 – 1 Bodo Glimt (W) | Toppserien | June 13, 2026
FK Haugesund Women produced a gritty second-half performance to edge past Bodo Glimt Women 2-1 at the Haugesund Stadion on Saturday evening. The result lifts Haugesund into the top half of the Toppserien table, while Bodo Glimt remain in the relegation conversation after a fifth defeat in six matches.
Match Overview
The opening 30 minutes were tightly contested, with both sides struggling to create clear-cut chances. Bodo Glimt looked the more composed side early on, keeping possession well through midfield trio Ingrid Solberg, Marte Bakke and Julie Nilsen. It was therefore no surprise when the visitors took the lead in the 35th minute – Solberg’s free kick from 25 yards curled over the wall and into the top corner, leaving Haugesund goalkeeper Maria Landa with no chance.
Haugesund responded positively before the break, with striker Line Berg forcing a smart save from Bodo keeper Rikke Olsen after a swift counter‑attack. The home side went into the interval trailing 1-0 but with renewed confidence.
Second‑Half Fightback
Haugesund head coach Per Fredriksen made a tactical switch at half‑time, pushing full‑back Emma Thorsen higher up the pitch to overload Bodo’s left flank. The change paid immediate dividends. In the 52nd minute, Thorsen’s cross was met by the head of Anja Pedersen, who directed the ball past Olsen to level the scores.
The home side continued to press and took the lead for the first time in the 71st minute. A corner kick from Ida Hansen was only partially cleared, and Maren Dahl smashed the loose ball into the roof of the net from 12 yards. Bodo Glimt pushed for a late equaliser but found Haugesund’s back line – led by captain Silje Kvammen – resolute and well‑organised.
Standout Performers
- Maren Dahl (Haugesund) – The midfielder’s goal and tireless running earned her the player‑of‑the‑match award.
- Ingrid Solberg (Bodo) – Her stunning free kick was the highlight of the match, but she faded in the second half.
- Emma Thorsen (Haugesund) – Her assist and constant overlapping runs destabilised Bodo’s defence.
Table Impact
With the three points, Haugesund climbed to 6th place on 22 points, now just three points behind the top four. Bodo Glimt remain 11th, four points above the relegation zone but with a difficult run ahead, including a trip to league leaders LSK Kvinner next weekend.
