22 April 2023 at 19:52 Heltne Nilsen scored a controversial penalty: – Like proposing to your wife – Taking a penalty is like proposing to your wife, goalscorer Sivert Heltne Nilsen says to news. A packed Brann stadium was lifted into the sky already after six minutes. Bård Finne flicked a cross further into the back of the field, where Frederik Børsting put it wide. Cash in the net and an early lead for the home team. However, the joy was short-lived. Barely ten minutes later, a clumsy Japhet Sery Larsen scored against his own team. The centre-back stretched his foot forward and outmaneuvered Mathias Dyngeland. Things were boiling in Bergen, where the hosts were clearly the strongest before the break. Both Sery Larsen, Finne and Ole Didrik Blomberg were dangerous up front, but the visitors escaped with a scare. Brann was best on his own turf and continued to run after the break. Vålerenga silenced the home fans for a short time when Seedy Jatta found his way to the goal, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Not long after, the referee pointed to the penalty mark. Bård Finne was kicked on the ankle by Enga’s Fredrik Oldrup Jensen inside Vålerenga’s 16-metre penalty area and went to the ground. – I feel that when he is running a feint, he is just as much running into me, says Oldrup Jensen to news. Bård Finne disagrees. – I pull away from the defender. When he’s on me, I don’t think there’s anything to change anyway, says Finne to news – Do you go down a bit easily? I don’t think so. While Sivert Heltne Nilsen got ready at the penalty mark, a furious Dag-Eilev Fagermo yelled at him with a yellow card. Brann’s captain kept his composure, rolled the ball in the opposite direction from where Magnus Sjøeng threw himself, and the crowd went off the hinges again. – I used the “Geir Jordet strategy”, says Nilsen about how he kept his composure at that important moment. Six minutes after he was substituted, Aune Heggebø made it 3-1. Felix Horn Myhre played his team-mate through with precision, and the finish was in style for the assist. Brann has six points after three games, Vålerenga is far down the table with its three points.
