After an exciting quarter-final match between Brann and Sandefjord in torrential rain at Åsane Arena, it was SK Brann who drew the longest straw. Brann thus advances to the semi-finals of the Norwegian football championship for the first time in eleven years. In the first half, Brann took the lead every few minutes. In the 21st minute, the first goal of the match came from Felix Horn Myhre, followed by a score from David Møller Wolfe four minutes later. The ball got past Sandefjord’s goalkeeper Hugo Keto a third time before the end of the half, and after a lot of back and forth it was Mathias Rasmussen who was the last on the ball before it went into the goal.
