SANDEFJORD (VG) appeared to go against Kåre Ingebrigtsen’s sixth loss (54) in ten games as Brann’s coach, but in extra time Fredrik Haugen (28) secured a point for the guests. Still, the boss is not entirely happy.
– Fredrik makes up for it with that goal, because he cheats on two of the setbacks, says Brann’s coach, Kåre Ingebrigtsen, with a smile on his face.
Both Bergensavisen and Bergens Tidende flocked to Brann’s coach after the game.

Bergenspressen possibly sharpened his knives as all points seemed to disappear in the storm at Sandefjord Arena, but Fredrik Haugen’s shot in the 95th minute of the match secured a point with his 3-3 goal.
– You run a lot as an inside runner. If they want to put two goals on me, they can do it, says Fredrik Haugen on the coach’s statement.
The goal was Fredrik Haugen’s first goal of the season. The inside runner has had a downward trend in terms of the number of goals.

Take the blame after terrible mistakes: Brann saved a point in extra time
Last year he struggled with injuries and little playing time and scored just two goals. The year before there were four.
– Fredrik never scores goals, so it’s typical for him to come towards us, says former Brann stopper Lars Grorud.
The Sandefjord captain called it “very frustrating” to concede goals in extra time.
Goalkeeper Jacob Storevik took all the blame for the reverse.
– It’s my fault. I give both goals, I think Brann will be happy about that, Storevik told Eurosport after this:
A draw means Kåre Ingebrigtsen remains with one win, four draws and five losses in ten games as Brann’s manager.
– Bergenspressen is questioning you now? Is it more difficult here than in Trondheim?
– As a football coach, I think you will be annoyed no matter where you live, but of course it is a good move in Bergen. That’s why I went here, he says.
– You shouldn’t be six points above the qualifying spot, probably the wrong end of the table?
– It is a club that has won 16 football matches in two years. “We feel like we’ve emptied the boat of water, then we’re going to start turning it over,” says Brann’s coach.

Ingebrigtsen was happy after the game, especially with the second half. Then he thought that Brann had a more direct style and was the best team, except for a few minutes in which “they stopped and slept”, according to the Brann manager.
The Sandefjord captain, Lars Grorud, did not appear to agree completely with that description.
– It’s incredibly strange. At first, I think we played them off the field. There are few teams we’ve played with off the pitch like we did in the first round, says Grorud.

Kåre Ingebrigtsen says they must “realize where they are.” Still, he does not lower his head.
– I hope that now we can turn it around and start winning football matches.
– Do you have to if they are not going to get too angry in Bergen?
– They are not so angry, that is, laughs Ingebrigtsen.
