In a fixture played under the lights at a lively venue in Porsgrunn, the visitors produced a resilient away display, overcoming an early setback to fight back and edge a game full of twists and turns.

Pors Grenland draw first blood

Pors Grenland’s supporters had been in good voice before kick-off, and their team's energetic opening gave them plenty to cheer.

Their equaliser came midway through the first half, courtesy of a well-struck effort from just outside the area that crept inside the post. Both sides then exchanged opportunities in an end-to-end spell, but it was Treaff who went into the break holding the initiative after converting a penalty to make it 2-1.

Dramatic second half and late winner

The second half began with Pors Grenland upping their tempo and pressing their opponents higher up the pitch. That pressure paid off when a blocked cross fell kindly for a home forward, who made no mistake to level matters at 2-2. With the game finely balanced, both teams pushed for a winner, and it was Treaff who struck late, punishing Pors Grenland on the counter-attack to seal a memorable 3-2 result.

For Pors Grenland this was a heartbreaking result after a committed performance, while Treaff will be delighted with the character and determination they showed to bounce back and take maximum points on the road.
