Amazing game between Brann and Lyn tonight under a big screen in Festplassen! 

Brann 1-0 Lyn 15 min

Brann 1-1 Lyn 86 min

Brann 2-1 Lyn 90 min

Brann 3-1 Lyn 93 min

2 points during overtime care of Karadas brought home the gold to Bergen. 

Excellent plays by the team who seemed to be in control all through out the game… plus with never-say-die Solli who brought the ball almost home for n times but not quite.  All of which made standing up for almost 2 hours out in the cold (2 C) windy night worthwhile… at least it wasn’t raining!

Brann is now leading 9 points from Stabæk and 3 games away from sealing the deal formally.  But everyone is already gearing up for partying. 

If Brann gets at least 1 point from the next 3 games, and even if Stabæk wins all their last 3 matches, there’s no stopping Bergen from getting a second taste of the Championship in 44 years!

Bergen ex-mayor Friele has promised big screens in the last 3 matches until Brann finally seals the championship deal.  “We will send up so much fireworks that they who thinks they can stay home and sleep must think twice.  No one will get to forget this time that Brann wins the gold.”

Lastly, I didn’t need any help translating that last quote from Norwegian!
