Nigerian youngster Daniel Job continued his outstanding run of form on Sunday, producing two assists as Kongsvinger fought back repeatedly to secure a dramatic 4-4 draw against Stromsgodset in the Norwegian OBOS-ligaen.
The 20-year-old played a crucial role in the entertaining Round 12 encounter at Gjemselund Stadion, setting up Kongsvinger’s second and third goals as the hosts recovered from losing positions on three different occasions before eventually sharing the spoils.
Daniel Job reaches 10 goal contributions in impressive season
The Nigerian forward now boasts five goals and five assists in 12 league appearances, taking his total goal involvements to 10.
The former youth prospect has also registered assists in consecutive matches after providing a key contribution in Kongsvinger’s 2-1 victory over Hødd in their previous outing.
His recent performances mean he has delivered three assists across his last two league games.
Despite surrendering top spot to Stromsgodset, Kongsvinger remain firmly in the title race.
They sit second in the standings on 27 points, level with their opponents, and will look to return to winning ways when they travel to face FK Haugesund next weekend.
Pingel’s hat-trick denies Kongsvinger famous comeback
The visitors made a strong start through Sebastian Pingel, who opened the scoring after 13 minutes before quickly restoring Stromsgodset’s advantage shortly after Kongsvinger had drawn level.
However, the hosts refused to give in. Goals from Mads Sande, Ludvig Langrekken and Victor Fors helped Kongsvinger claw their way back into the contest and eventually take a 4-3 lead during a pulsating second half.
Just as it appeared the home side would complete a memorable comeback, Pingel struck again in the 78th minute to seal his hat-trick and rescue a point for Stromsgodset.
Neither team could find a decisive winner in the closing stages as an absorbing eight-goal contest ended in a thrilling stalemate.
