Brann had a wonderful starting point, but a night of horror in Kazakhstan ruined everything for the Bergens. In overtime, Astana secured a 3-0 victory, which thus ensured a 3-2 victory on aggregate. This means that Eirik Horneland and co. will not be playing in Europe this autumn. – I am speechless. The match Brann had at the Stadium, you almost thought they would just go down and move on, commented VG expert Vegard Leikvoll Moberg. LOSS: Brann took a beating and lost 0-3 against Astana. Photo: Stas Filippov / NTB Excellent starting point Brann had to try to get to Serieligaen in the torrential rain with a solid wind in addition. Weather that could remind you of Bergen, in other words. The Bergens came anyway with a good starting point, with a 2-0 victory from Brann Stadion. Thus, the Norwegian team was considered favorites to advance. However, it was Astana that was closest from the start. The yellow jerseys were very close to taking the lead early on when Geoffrey Chinedu had the opportunity from close range. The forward blew the ball over the net and thus burned a giant chance. Although Brann got a kick out of it, they were clearly the best in terms of play. Joachim Soltvedt in particular was close and perhaps should have sent the Bergens into the lead after around ten minutes played. Astana were dangerous going forward on several occasions, and Ousmane Camara in particular came close on a couple of occasions. He once ended up alone with the keeper, but lashed it even with weak touches. Horror round But then the away team from Norway would not be so lucky anymore. After sustained Astana pressure, they finally got their goal. It was Geoffrey Chinedu who sent Astana into the lead and ensured that they were only one goal away from extra time. – There has been a lot of weakness and nonsense from Brann with the ball, said VG expert Vegard Leikvoll Moberg. They did not give up, and it seemed that the team from Kazakhstan shook Eirik Horneland’s men. – Now Brann, now you have to wake up, said VG commentator Vegard Aulstad after a great Astana chance. But they didn’t wake up. Astana hit a seemingly harmless set piece. Mathias Dyngeland served a weak punch, straight into a fellow player and the ball then landed straight into the legs of Chinedu, who scored two goals. – Is it possible?! exclaimed Aulstad. – It hurts to see that, commented Moberg. Things calmed down somewhat after the 2-0 scoring to Astana, but suddenly Brann destroyed himself. Soltvedt played a horror pass backwards, straight into the legs of an Astana player. Ramazan Karimov made no mistake and ensured 3-0 and Astana promotion. Published 29/08/2024, at 17.55 Updated 29.08.2024, at 17.59
