SANDEFJORD (VG) (Sandefjord – Brann 3–3) Kåre Ingebrigtsen (54) is struggling to get him flowing as Brann’s coach, but could thank Jacob Storevik (24) for getting a point from the whaling town.
Fredrik Haugen took a shot on goal from the edge of the penalty area after 95 minutes, making it 0 – 1 after an elegant move down the middle.
– It’s a lazy goalkeeping game. It’s been absolutely horrible, he’s only played the stock market, Eurosport expert Joacim Jonsson thought, while Bernt Hulsker disagreed.

– It’s my fault. I give them two goals, I think Brann will be happy about that, Storevik tells Eurosport. The goalkeeper blamed himself that there was only one point.
A draw means Kåre Ingebrigtsen remains with one win, four draws and five losses in ten games as Brann’s manager.
– It is a club that has won 16 football matches in two years. “We feel like we’ve emptied the boat of water, so we’re going to start turning it over,” Brann’s coach tells VG.
Still, they are six points down from qualifying place, as a result of few points caught at Start, Mjøndalen and Aalesund.
– We have to realize that. We haven’t been better either, says Ingebrigtsen of the relegation battle.
A beautiful header from Martin Kreuzriegler sent the blue jerseys ahead at Sandefjord Arena.
In the second half, he exploded with four goals in nine minutes.
Substitute Robert Taylor tied for Brann, but Harmeet Singh finished 2-1 almost immediately afterward.
Then Vidar Ari Jónsson raised against the old club, before Petter Strand downsized after a terrible mistake by goalkeeper Jacob Storevik, who had made several important saves so far.
Then came a new error from the goalkeeper in extra time.
– It’s very frustrating. Last kick to the ball, Jónsson tells VG.
– 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 Lars Grorud.

It seemed like Sandefjord would win for a long time, but one point means that Sandefjord is now eight points down from the qualifying spot.
The blue jerseys were forecast north and down ahead of the season, but with 27 points from 23 games, he still looks bright for Martí Cifuentes’ boys.
– Of course I’m a bit surprised as they tend to be at the top, but that’s the way this league is, says former Brann player Deyver Vega.
Branns’ only win with Ingebrigtsen is a 2-0 win over Nadderud in their second match after the appointment.
