Twenty-two against eleven…how can that be fair?

A Norwegian professional soccer team has taken on a team of 22 amateurs.

Valerenga, who play in the Norwegian Premier League – the top tier in the country's footballing pyramid – took on an amateur side, which played two goalkeepers and eight defenders, for comedy TV series 'Golden Goal'.

The Norwegian professional side – who recently arranged a friendly against Spanish giants Barcelona – won the game 4-1, despite the team of amateurs also playing eight midfielders and four attackers.

During the game, the less-fancied team defended free-kicks by using two sets of walls and crowded their opponents' penalty area when they had a corner.
