Jens Petter Hauge ran forward into space and threw the ball just in time for Philip Zinckernagel.
It was a buzz for Vegard Forren, who was way behind, and the Dane scored his 12th goal of the season through the post and inside.
Brann got back in the game and created several half chances after falling behind, but he lacked the last margins to really threaten the guests.

So it was bad enough for the people of Bergen that Zinckernagel reloaded and hit his second from a distance.
Shortly after Hauge and Zinckernagel were on the move again, Opdal stopped the latter’s first attempt, but Hauge was in the right place and pushed Glimt’s third.
– I think we are much clearer in the second half. They give us the initiative and we must dare to take it. It was strong, coach Kjetil Knutsen tells Eurosport.

Thomas Grøgaard lit hope for the home team with a cash cut, but it was too little too late for the home team.

No team has led by more than eleven points at this stage of the season after the three-point rule was introduced in 1987. Rosenborg had eleven points less than Bodø / Glimt in 2003.

Brann had a bit of everything to get back at Bergen’s natural grass. Not only did they lose 5-1 to Vålerenga last Sunday, they were also crushed 5-0 in Bodø when the teams met this summer.
They were also the best in the first round and made it to several qualifying occasions, almost retraining Thomas Grøgaard with a full volley, but none of the attempts were real. lethal.
Kåre Ingebrigtsen has thus led his new boss to four points in five games.
The Northerners, for their part, had a fair overall test before Thursday’s test of strength. Then Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his AC Milan await the San Siro.
P.S.! The last time Bodø / Glimt no scored two or more goals for the Eliteserien was against Brann in Bergen on October 28, 2019.
