Viking defeated Haugesund 1–0 to claim the Norwegian Cup for the sixth time in their history, the first time since 2001.[2] Viking's captain, Zlatko Tripić, scored the game-winning goal, a penalty after 51 minutes.[3][4] As a result, Viking qualified for the Europa League second qualifying round.
Background
editHaugesund finished the 2019 Eliteserien season in 7th place. Viking, on the other hand, finished the league season in 5th place as a newly promoted side. Haugesund and Viking are both from the county of Rogaland, and this was the first time in ten years that two teams from the same county played in the final.[2] This final was Haugesund's second ever appearance in a Norwegian Cup Final, the last time being in 2007, when they lost against Lillestrøm.[5] Viking last made a cup final appearance in 2001, when they won against another Rogaland club, Bryne. Prior to this year's edition, Viking have made a total of ten appearances in the cup final, winning it on five occasions.[6]
