Standout Players

Niklas Castro was a constant threat on the left wing, while Kasper Twum not only scored the winner but also made crucial clearances.

Table Impact

The win moved Brann up to 3rd place with 34 points, just two points behind leaders Bodø/Glimt. KFUM remain in 10th place with 23 points, but their away form continues to be a concern.
