Selvåg Nordås struck first for Tromsø in the 13th minute on a feed from August Mikkelsen, then Mikkelsen added another in the 38th minute. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Tromsø should be reasonably happy with their performance.
In their last match together, Tromsø and Viking battled to a 1-1 draw. Sebastian Sebulonsen scored the first goal for Viking in the 73rd minute, but W. Kamanzi got the equalizer for Tromsø in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time squeezing out at least the one point for Tromsø.
August Mikkelsen has been the most effective weapon for Tromsø lately. The Norwegian midfielder has netted three goals in his last five matches. Herman Haugen and Kevin Kabran are the top scorers for Viking in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
