Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Skedsmo took control. Their high‑press forced Ready into mistakes, and it was no surprise when the home side opened the scoring in the 12th minute. A neat one‑two on the edge of the box allowed the Skedsmo striker to curl a shot into the top corner. Ready struggled to cope with the pace and movement of the Skedsmo attack.

The second goal came midway through the first half. A corner was only half‑cleared, and the ball fell to a Skedsmo midfielder who volleyed home from 18 yards. Ready pulled one back just before half‑time with a well‑taken goal on the break, giving them hope heading into the interval.

The third goal – a set‑piece header – highlighted the physical edge Skedsmo had over their opponents.

Standout Players
