A knee injury of the worst kind for Vetle Dragsnes
88 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Brann lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match16 Aug 2027
Brann up to position 2
35 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.
Boardroom16 Aug 2027
Brann go back to the board over Eirik Åsvestad
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $384.7K — a club that wants Eirik Åsvestad enough to be asked twice.

Nobody wants to play Brann right now
3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.
Player ratings16 Aug 2027
The game went through Bård Finne — 7.40
Marked 7.40 on 12 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
The terraces16 Aug 2027
One of their own: Mathias Meling
He is 15 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Match14 Aug 2027
Brann find a way past Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad made Brann work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Ulrik Mathisen beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Loan watch16 Aug 2027
Nana Boakye has seen enough of Kecskeméti TE
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Brann, and 3 appearances in 29 say he has earned the hearing.
In brief
- Market Viking are about to pick up the phone
- The dugout A satisfied Ruben Odegaard
- The dugout When it matters, Ulrik Mathisen plays
