Hamkam won 2-1 over Viking in the league opener. Expert Jesper Mathisen believes Viking must open their wallet to strengthen the team. Viking coach Morten Jensen acknowledged a lack of self-confidence in the team. Injuries to key players Edvin Austbø and Peter Christiansen weakened the team. Hamkam striker Henrik Udahl impressed with a goal and a goal-scoring pass. – Even though it's a tough market, I think they should try with everything they have to get something, says TV 2 expert Jesper Mathisen after Hamkam beat Viking 2-1. Viking created little in open play - their only scoring came from a dead ball. – We lack a lot of sting in the team. We're not playing with any self-confidence in the team, says Viking coach Morten Jensen to the channel. Viking came into the league opener with a weakened squad. In the attack, both Edvin Austbø and Peter Christiansen were missing. – It's a heavy fall, but we won't put it on that, says Jensen about the injuries to his attacking stars. On top, Icelandic Hilmir Mikaelsson got a chance. Before the game, the question from TV 2's expert was: Does he grab it? – The answer to that is no. He looked just as unthreatening as last year, thinks Mathisen before he continues. – He doesn't look far, he doesn't look threatening, he doesn't look like a Viking striker, but like someone who could play for a worse team. I'll be surprised if he plays many more minutes for Viking this season, continues Mathisen. However, one striker showed himself to be deadly on Briskeby this Saturday. Ten minutes before the break, one of last year's top players was unfortunate. Henrik Falchener slipped out on the sidelines. Henrik Udahl took advantage of the situation with a turbo from the flank. In the 16-meter area, he flicked the ball past Gianni Stensness with a shot-flick - and in front of goal, the striker made no mistake. – I hope Ståle Solbakken saw that today, said the unlucky Falchener to TV 2 in the break. With his performances last season, the midfielder has played himself into the discussion for the national team. National team coach Ståle Solbakken was on the tribune on Saturday. – That was bad, said Falchener about the performance with Solbakken on the tribune. Just after Udahl's goal, HamKam was back on the attack. Udahl received the ball from the left side and passed it back to Loris Mettler. The midfielder got his first shot blocked, but on the return, he hit the ball into the left corner and doubled the lead for HamKam. – Viking is in trouble, said TV 2's football expert Jesper Mathisen. On overtime of overtime in the first half, the reigning league champion still managed to score. Zlatko Tripic headed in a corner kick on the head of Gianni Stensness, who headed in the reduction for Viking. – I didn't know we were playing against Stoke City, but it was just dead balls to defend against, said HamKam striker and goal-scorer Henrik Udahl to the channel in the break. The teammates, however, received praise from HamKam man Ståle Solbakken. – They've done a solid job, said Solbakken to TV 2. Viking chased the equalizer in the final minutes. Almost was the guests a minute into overtime where Zlatko Tripic shot in from the right, but Anders Bærtelsens heading went just over the crossbar to Sandberg. – They made it difficult for Viking today. It was a HamKam team that really impressed, said TV 2's football expert Jesper Mathisen as HamKam had beaten Viking in the league opener.
