Haugesund and HamKam will battle for three points in an Eliteserien fixture on Saturday (August 10th). The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 4-2 defeat away to Bodo/Glimt last weekend.
They took the lead through Sebastian Tounekti's 20th-minute strike but Andreas Helmersen drew the game level in first half injury time. Haugesund reclaimed the lead through Mikkel Hope but Kasper Hogh scored either side of Patrick Berg to help the Yellow Horde claim all three points.
HamKam, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a six-goal thriller at home to Viking. The visitors took a one-goal lead into the break through Zlatko Tripic's 26th-minute penalty. Two own goals saw hosts HamKam edge ahead in the 72nd minute but late goals from Brynjar Bjarnason and Sander Svendsen ensured the two sides canceled each other out.
The draw left Grønnbuksene in 12th spot in the table, having garnered 18 points from 17 games. Haugesund are 14th on 17 points in 16 outings.
