Brann held off the massive pressure from Rosenborg in the second half and took three important points in the medal match. The Bergens won 1-2 in front of a packed Lerkendal. Brann took the lead already after seven minutes. Emil Kornvig towered highest inside the field after the free kick. The header was saved, but the Dane knocked in the rebound to make it 0-1. Just after the break, the away team received a penalty kick. RBK goalkeeper Sander Tangvik first saved the attempt from Aune Heggebø, but Heggebø put in the rebound and thus 0-2, and wild cheers in the Brann camp. Sverre Nypan ignited hope in Trøndelag with his reduction. But Rosenborg never got closer to Brann i Trondheim. With today’s triumph, Brann is up to 49 points in second place in the table, just five points behind Bodø/Glimt. Rosenborg remains on 40 points in fifth place. – This was absolutely amazing, it was very close today, but it was lovely, says match winner Aune Heggebø to TV 2. – Incredibly fun in a difficult football match. When we go up to 2-0 in the second half, we know that there will be a push from Rosenborg, but the guys are making a fantastic effort, says Brann coach Eirik Horneland to TV 2. – There are two different halves. Brann is the best team in the first half and gets back for their intensive pressure. We responded well after the penalty kick and thus it is boring that we are left with nothing, says Rosenborg player Markus Henriksen. – Our objective has been clear, that now we must do everything to achieve a European Cup place. There are five games left and we will do everything we can to make it, says Rosenborg coach Alfred Johansson.
