For my penultimate game of my Norway Football Tour I visited Lassa Gress, home of local side FK Vidar as they played their final game of the season at home to FK Fyllingsdalen. Vidar have had a decent season and sit 4th while the visitors were ninth only five points behind, showing how close the league had been. In a decent opening quarter both sides created chances although the home side definitely shaded proceedings and on 25 minutes they opened the scoring when a long ball skipped off the wet surface deceiving the defender allowing Eirik Jakobsen in and he took a touch before slotting past the keeper. The visitors did create a couple more chances as they threatened to get back on level terms but suffered a blow on 38 minutes when their winger limped off injured. He had been the main source of Fyllingsdalen attacks and after he went off their threat going forward near enough vanished. Three minutes before half time Vidar doubled their lead as a poor defensive header came out to Petter Lunde who took a touch before firing past the keeper from eighteen yards out. Vidar came out all guns blazing in the second half and on 52 minutes made it 3-0 when a long range effort came back off the underside of the bar and the defence stood like statues as Eirik Jakobsen followed up by chesting the ball down and smashing home from two yards. Seven minutes later it was four and as easy as you like when a great ball into the box was acrobatically volleyed home by Lasse Ihle. Fyllingsdallen actually had a bit more possession at this stage as Vidar took the foot of the gas a little although the visitors attacking threat was virtually non exsistant. On 70 minutes Vidar decided they fancied another goal and played a ball through to Eirik Jakobsen who chipped over the advancing keeper beautifully, exhibition style, to make it 5-0. On 78 minutes Vidar sliced through a non exsistant Fyllingsdalen defence again when Eirik Jakobsen's ball across the penalty area found its way to Preben Erland who had all the time in the world to pick his spot and fire past the helpless keeper for 6-0. Vidar almost added a couple more in the last few minutes but settled for six and a nice way to end the season. For Fyllingsdalen they will be glad the season is over after this abject display.
