The entire Pallesen Knudsen family was gathered on Askøy when Brann came to visit.
While the two youngest played on their respective teams, the eldest stood and watched.
– Today my name is Fredrik. Kristian has been so rude lately. It was nice that he was crushed a little, says older brother Ole Marius.
Highlights from the match between Askøy and Brann in the 2nd round of the NM 24.04.2024
– Ugly tackle
Both Fredrik and Kristian are centre-backs, one for Brann, the other for Askøy.
– You are in a situation where you are cutting down Brann’s captain…
– He has probably cut someone down himself too, says Kristian about Sivert Heltne Nilsen, who received the first yellow card of the season on Wednesday evening.
– It should have been red, says Fredrik to his brother.
– Do you think so?!
– Yes, it was ugly, replies the Brann centre-back.
Happy mom
Head coach Eirik Horneland was far from satisfied after the game, but said that Brann managed to rise to a level that was “acceptable”.
– I only wish we could give those who came here a better performance than this, says the native of Roga, who praises Askøy for the game that led to their two goals.
– I think Askøy is surprised. They had an absolutely formidable effort, and you can go a long way with that. Brann was the best in football, Askøy on effort, says mum Lise, who said in advance that she expected 6-0 to Brann.
– We had to step up and win the first and second balls. Askøy were better there, they were more prepared. I thought we had managed to silence them at 1-2, but then they come and equalize again. We heard it in the dressing room, says Fredrik.
And the break jaw needed Brann.
They rose to the 2nd half, where they increased the lead steadily, and in the end stood with five different goalscorers.
