Brann is in terrible shape in the Elite Series and notices a ghost’s breath of descent on his neck. So it didn’t help that the team’s last defender, Ali Ahamada, made a crazy goalie mistake in the loss to Haugesund.
Brann 1-2 Haugesund
Brann started better in Bergen, but missed the chances. Then a shock wave ripped through the audience as Ali Ahamada made one of the biggest goalkeeping mistakes the Elite Series has seen, ten minutes after the break.
– Horrible goalkeeper game by Ali Ahamada, terrible. He hasn’t been in charge of Brann for several months, and indeed he scores that goal himself there, it came from the Eurosport commentators.
Petter Strand created balance on the scores, but then Jon Helge Tveita dropped Haugesund’s Kristoffer Velde inside the penalty area. Niklas Sandberg was the safety from the penalty spot and won the match for the guests.
– Big problem
Nine games without a win is Brann’s result, and Bengt Eriksen isn’t sure what the next games will bring for the people of Bergen.
– They are in big trouble and are still in the battle for relegation. They have not won for nine games and that gives them zero confidence. They have now trained with Kåre Ingebrigtsen for a long time, but you can’t see the outline at all, says Eurosport expert Bengt Eriksen in the post-match study.
Ali Ahamada was the big talking point after the game, and the last chance was a defeated man in the interview zone.
– I tried to take the post, but the ball disappeared from my hands. It was not good, big mistake. I have to keep working, even if I make a mistake today, Ali Ahmada tells Eurosport.
Hard with his former coach
Kristoffer Velde delivered a decent match for Haugesund, and he had a bitter message for his former boss, Eirik Horneland.
– It was unbelievably delicious. Today we play in a field here, so it was good to add the three points. It’s important that we keep Horneland’s stats as well, Velde says.
– Why is it more pleasant to beat Horneland?
– No, there is nothing to hide that we do not have such a good relationship. With the farewell he had in Haugesund, it is always more pleasant to beat him.
Disappointed fire gang
Vegard Forren was not happy with the result, and Brann’s cap hopes the team will regain confidence soon.
– We have to figure out how to win football matches again, because today we have almost no chances against, but we conceded two goals. Then it will be difficult to win football matches. The goalkeepers who come to Brann Stadium are usually good, so I don’t know if it’s because we shoot the good guys every time.
– Are you talking about relegation?
– No we will not. But we have to win games fast as hell, Forren concludes.
Kåre Ingebrigtsen is off to a smooth start to his career at Brann.
– I feel like it’s a party that we control most of the party, and Haugesund doesn’t really believe anything. It’s really unforgivable that we lose that match, as we have such good control. We can’t go worrying about 2021, because we have to win soccer games now ourselves, he tells Eurosport.
Wasted with opportunities
Brann opened well, and it was new signing Sander Svendsen who opened the ball. Moldenseren, on loan from Danish OB, received the ball with his left foot, but the shot went a little over the goal.
Minutes later, the same man was back in front, and he should have headed the goal. Kristoffer Barmen won a head duel on the field and surprised behind a lone Svendsen at the back post.

This time he finished off with his right foot, but the shot hit with his left foot and went a meter to the side for a goal.
Traffic continued in front of Helge Sandvik’s goal, when Daniel Pedersen tried from a distance. The shot went off relatively in the middle of the last defense, which took a terrifying turn, but ran away in fear.
Giant rescue
Sandvik continued the great game in the Haugesund goal, and five minutes before the break he was back at work. Fredrik Haugen’s corner kick struck Jón Fjóluson in the forehead, but the Icelander was stopped by a feverish rescue.
– Sandvik’s huge goalkeeping game, Eurosport commentator Kenneth Fredheim said.
It was also the last thing that happened in the first round. Fire controlled most things, but it couldn’t find its way to the net masks.
– It’s completely useless that I don’t put those opportunities there, Sander Svendsen told Eurosport during the break.
Big mistake of the guardian
Haugesund took out Danish Oliver Klitten at halftime and brought in Niklas Sandberg to create more offensively.
The beginning of the second half was a big yawn, but after ten minutes came the situation that everyone was talking about after the game. Alexander Stølås hit the post from a practically dead angle, and it looked like Ali Ahamada in Brann’s goal was in control.

However, it should turn out that the last chance did not get. Ahamada somehow managed to get the ball into his own net.
– Horrible goalkeeper game by Ali Ahamada, terrible. He hasn’t been responsible for Brann for several months, and actually scores that goal himself there. It’s heavy for Brann, it came from the Eurosport commentators.
The setback shocked the Bergen team, but it didn’t take many minutes for the tie to become a reality. Kristoffer Barmen made his way to the end, but again Helge Sandvik was there. The lap ended in the legs of Petter Strand, who took revenge behind the wall in the first half and tied for Brann.
Haugesund sanctions
Now it was blaring into the match, for four minutes after the draw, referee Tom Harald Hagen pointed to the penalty spot after Branns Jon Helge Tveita lined up Kristoffer Velde.
Substitute Niklas Sandberg cooled off from the penalty spot and scored 2-1 for Haugesund.
Brann tried to respond, and the fourth before the end, Fredrik Haugen was dangerous up front. The Bergen native tried an acrobatic attempt, but the shot went over the goal.
– Brann can’t get to a particularly final sprint here, and he looks just tired, said Tor Ole Skullerud in the Eurosport studio.
Scorer Petter Strand tried from a distance with a few minutes to go, and almost managed to outwit Sandvik, who came close to rooting the ball at his own goal.
Brann never came close, losing 1-2 in the important home game against Haugesund. After Mjøndalen beat Strømsgodset, there is only a five point difference until qualifying.
