There is not much to be said. In the single most decisive game of the year, a game where a draw would have been enough to renew access to Tippeligaen, Kamma lost at home. Not only did they lose, they were humiliated with five goals to one.

Even if Ham-Kam have been involved in the relegation stride throughout the autumn, they have never found themselves underneath the relegation line. Not untill day 26. The last day.

Stabæk's little Brazilian, Alanzinho proved to the audience that Stabæk were aiming for three points, regardless of the fact that they had nothing to play for except honour. After 10 minutes he picked up a deflection after a corner kick, and killed the enthusiasm and optimism in Hamar for a while.

Not long after, Ramiro Corrales had a chance to level out the score, but he missed from the penalty spot, and when Tom Stenvoll scored the guests second goal, faces in the crowd merged with the colours of their supporting-kit. Viking had started their massacre on Brann in Stavanger, and at half-time Hamar was troubled.

Twenty minutes into the second half, Daniel Nannskog opened the elevator-door to downstairs when he scored his first and Stabæk's third goal of the evening.

It all ended 5-1, in what must have been one of Ham-Kam's worst performances at home in decades.

Next year Ham-Kam will not meet Rosenborg. They will not meet Brann, nor Vålerenga, nor Lillestrøm. And there will be no Stabæk-revenge...
