Viking beat Sabah FA 4-1 in Stavanger, with Erik Botheim's second goal in stoppage time putting the result beyond doubt. Zlatko Tripić also scored from the spot after missing his penalty earlier in the second half.
Sabah FA led first when Patrick Orphe Mbina struck in the 11th minute from Umarali Rakhmonaliev's assist. Botheim equalised on 27 minutes from Kristoffer Haugen's cross, and the teams were level at 1-1 at half-time.
Tripić put Viking ahead in the 69th minute, then Henrik Falchener made it 3-1 on 81 minutes from Tripić's assist. Botheim added his second of the match three minutes into stoppage time, with Peter Christiansen setting him up after coming on in the 56th minute. Viking made two changes on 56 minutes and two more on 86 minutes, while Sabah FA made two on 71 minutes and another on 79 minutes. The visitors had a brief VAR check go against them on 77 minutes, when Aden McCarthy's yellow card was upgraded to a red.
The numbers were close in possession, with Viking on 51% and Sabah FA on 49%, and the away side had 458 passes to Viking's 456.
