Match report
Brann beat Ham-Kam 3-0 in the eighteenth round of the Eliteserien on Saturday. The hosts moved clear in the lower half of the table, while Ham-Kam's struggles continued after another heavy defeat. It was a straightforward evening for the home side, who controlled the tempo from the opening whistle.
And here's the thing — you could feel the shift when Gjone went off at the thirty-third minute. Ham-Kam had already lost their composure after Ingason's effort was ruled out by VAR a few minutes earlier. The red card turned the match into a formality, though Brann didn't rush to add to their advantage. Joachim Soltvedt finally broke the deadlock at the break, a forty-fifth-minute finish that looked like it had been building since the first half hour.
By then, Ham-Kam were chasing shadows. Noah Jean Holm made it two at the seventy-third minute, and Bård Finne closed the scoring with a late touch in stoppage time. The substitutions told their own story — Brann rotated freely while Ham-Kam were left picking up pieces. Three goals in ninety minutes, but the real story was how quickly the game opened up once Gjone left the pitch.
Match statistics
Brann held seventy percent possession with 647 total passes compared to Ham-Kam's 281
The hosts fired thirteen shots on target to Ham-Kam's zero, while the visitors managed only ten saves
Brann created 124 attacks with 26 key passes, whereas Ham-Kam managed just three key passes across the entire match
And to be fair, the statistics don't lie, but they don't tell the whole story either. Brann now sit seventh with twenty-six points, three clear of Ham-Kam in tenth place. The gap matters less than the momentum — Ham-Kam have not won since their opening day, and this result puts further pressure on their coaching staff to respond.
