TRONDHEIM (VG) (Rosenborg-Brann 2-3) Brann had not won in three months and was seriously heading into the relegation battle. Then Kåre Ingebrigtsen (55) and Eirik Horneland (45) got a rematch that was as sweet as they could have dreamed of.
The two former Rosenborg coaches couldn’t have asked for a better return to Lerkendal. Ingebrigtsen promised in advance an offensive visiting team that would take a chance when they showed up. As I said so done.
After a few hectic final minutes, Brann’s players were able to cheer on three important points on the road in Trondheim.

– Of course it’s fantastic. We needed a victory and that is a great achievement. We had a perfect match even though it turned chaotic in the end. Everyone understands that this was important to us, Vegard Forren smiled at Eurosport.
– We have taken into account the reality, that we are a lower layer. So we must sacrifice our lives to stay, said an equally happy Kristoffer Barmen.
The first goal came in the 22nd minute, when Edvard Tagseth slipped and gave Petter Strand time and space to find Robert Taylor facing goalkeeper Julian Faye Lund’s second goal. Taylor, who played an offensive midfield position in Ingebrigtsen’s newly conceived 4-2-3-1 formation, was not allowed to be asked twice and was burned.
Faye Lund came close to extending the visitors lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of goal after a pass through the middle.
Two goals in one minute
A few seconds later, and before the producer had time to finish showing the replay of the 1-0 goal, Brann was on the move again. Once again Tagseth was involved, acting in the absence of coroner Markus Henriksen. The pass right after kickoff was definitely not intended for the Brann Daouda Bamba forward, but that’s where it ended.
Bamba put on the great speed, prepared the ball with a few touches and ended up frozen only with Faye Lund. A very small minute’s sleep for Brann. On the bench, Ingebrigtsen cheered with jubilant fists and a little pirouette.
Assistant coach Horneland, who was fired after a 3-2 loss to Bodø / Glimt on the same court in June, was a bit more in the background on the opposite side of the visitor’s bench.

Criminal situations
Rosenborg tried to respond, but in the first half came no closer than two penalty calls. Only after five minutes, when Carlo Holse’s post hit Taylor’s hand at 16 meters.
– His arm is slightly away from the body. I think it is similar to a penalty, commented Eurosport’s Asbjørn Myhre.
On the other hand, five minutes before the break, when Tore Reginiussen headed with the outstretched arm of Ruben Kristiansen.
– We have no comment other than that it is a penalty, Tor Ole Skullerud commented to Eurosport, and thought it should be Rosenborg’s second penalty in the match.
Judge Tore Hansen was unconvinced, hearing it from home fans as he headed to the locker room at halftime.
Overtime drama
When it didn’t seem like it could get any worse for the home team, it was just that. Worst.
With almost no pressure on the ball carrier, Brann had plenty of time to play for Rosenborg’s right side. Fortunately, the ball landed on Sander Svendsen at 17 meters. The ending was good, but still no better than the one Faye Lund should have saved. The ball went to the center of the goal, but over the crossbar and down.
Ten minutes before the end, he finally sat down for Rosenborg, which was well deserved. Tagseth was given the opportunity to change things and Erlend Dahl Reitan was given the opportunity to change things. If the post was equally ironed, Zachariassen’s stunned crossbar was possibly the achievement of the match.
After a huge bonanza of chances in extra time, Rosenborg finally managed to reduce on the third attempt by Hólmar Örn Eyjólfsson. It still failed to be exciting. After two consecutive losses in the league, Hareide’s company is five points ahead of Molde in silver, with five games to play.
– I have a heart attack at the end there, said Brann coach Kåre Ingebrigtsen, who did not take the opportunity to float.
– I know a lot of people here and it’s nice, but when the referee blows it’s for two teams and two goals, and you forget it. I wish Rosenborg the best of luck, he tells Eurosport.
Horneland will not comment, Branns’ media manager tells VG, who justifies it by saying the assistant coach does not meet coed.
