AMSTERDAM – All three teams featuring Americans advanced to the sweet 16 of the NM Cupen away from home on Wednesday night, with Quentin Westberg (pictured above with former club Evian) notching his second shutout of the tournament in a 2-0 victory away to third-flight mites SK Gjovik-Lyn.
The netminder's biggest contribution of the contest came with his side up one at the half-hour mark. A cross from the right wing floated toward the Sarpsborg far corner, but the American was nimble enough to shove the ball over the bar.
Elsewhere, Cole Grossman went the distance in midfield to help Stabaek boss Bob Bradley run his Norwegian Cup record to 8-1 with a 3-1 decision at Senja FK.
Viking defender A.J. Soares saw yellow for the first time in Norway as the visitors moved on following a 5-3 thriller at Arendal Fotball.
