A SR-Bank Arena, em Stavanger, viu o Viking golear o Sabah: 4 a 1, nesta quarta-feira, em confronto entre duas equipes que estreiam na fase de liga da Champions League.
Os visitantes abriram o placar cedo, mas os noruegueses empataram ainda no primeiro tempo e construíram a goleada na etapa final, aproveitando uma expulsão do adversário após revisão do VAR.
Aos 11 minutos, Patrick Orphe Mbina recebeu de Umarali Rakhmonaliev e marcou para o Sabah. O Viking respondeu aos 27, com Erik Botheim completando passe de Kristoffer Haugen. A posse ficou equilibrada, com os donos da casa ligeiramente à frente: 52% contra 48%.
O jogo virou aos 24 do segundo tempo: Zlatko Tripić perdeu um pênalti, mas pegou o rebote e colocou o Viking na frente. Em seguida, após o VAR, Aden McCarthy levou vermelho direto e deixou o Sabah com um a menos.
Com um jogador a mais e mais volume (21 finalizações contra 16), o time da casa ampliou aos 36, com Henrik Falchener servido por Tripić. Nos acréscimos, Botheim fez o segundo dele, desta vez com assistência de Peter Christiansen, que havia entrado do banco, fechando o 4 a 1.
O Viking chegou a quatro pontos e é o 22º; o Sabah tem três e aparece em 31º. Pela competição, as duas voltam a campo em 25 de novembro, uma quarta: o Viking visita o Atlético de Madrid; o Sabah recebe o Barcelona.
