Match Report
Brann pulled off a stunning turnaround against Apollon in Cyprus, overturning a first-leg deficit to win in extra time and reach the next round of Europa Conference League qualifying. The Norwegians trailed for most of the night before a late surge sealed one of the wildest ties of the round.
Kristall Máni Ingason put Brann ahead in the 16th minute, but Apollon leveled through Ivan Ljubić (86') and Gaétan Weissbeck in stoppage time. Noah Holm then struck twice in quick succession (90+6' and 95') to swing it back toward Brann, and Kristian Eriksen made it four in the 105th minute. Ingason was later sent off for a second yellow card in the 118th minute, with the result already beyond doubt.
It's a cruel exit for Apollon, whose three clean sheets in earlier rounds couldn't prevent a late collapse at home. Brann's resilience sends them through 4-3 on aggregate into the next qualifying round.
