The visitors took a 26th-minute lead when Jakub Sylvester prodded in, an advantage which they held until eight minutes into the second period when Jo Inge Berget tucked away a penalty after he was hauled down by Martin Juhar. Juhar then redeemed himself with a sweetly struck shot from the edge of the penalty area with a quarter of an hour remaining but, just when it looked like the visitors would return home with all three points, Orry Larsen struck.
