LIVE! Magnusson scores: Bergen leads against Salzburg

54' Dorgeles Nene takes the next corner for Salzburg.

52' The second period begins just like the first, with both teams feeling their way toward their respective opponents.

49' Schlager saves Salzburg! Despite being offside, Felix Myhre has a huge chance. The ball comes into the center to the number 8, who is completely unmarked, but Schlager makes a strong save.

47' Damian Sylwestrzak blows the whistle to start the second half.

45' Halftime summary: Brann deservedly took a 1-0 lead out of nowhere. A goal that was avoidable for the Bulls. The main problem in the first half was the lack of chances. Krätzig had the only good opportunity shortly before the break; otherwise, apart from the odd long-range shot, very little happened.

45' There are 2 minutes of injury time!

44' Salzburg's first good shot is here. Frans Krätzig gets to the ball in the backcourt after a corner and takes a cool shot. Dyngeland parries it for the next corner.

43' In addition to the flow, the passing was also off. The game was characterized by many individual errors.

42' Nothing is going right for Salzburg. It feels like the first friendly match of the new season, but they're in danger of losing a crucial qualifying match.

40' The final five minutes are a very tough affair for the Red Bulls. The few Salzburg fans who have traveled with them are still waiting for a dangerous finish from Wals-Siezenheim.

38' Emil Kornvig hits one from 25 meters, the ball also goes just past the left post.

36' Adam Daghim tries another shot from distance, but this one also remains harmless.

33' There is now a drinking break!

31' After just over half an hour, there's still not much to report. Brann's lead came out of nowhere, and the Red Bulls couldn't respond, nor could the Norwegians extend their lead.

28' The Norwegians' offside trap strikes again. This time it's Nene who is caught in the offside zone. A very difficult first half hour for Salzburg.

25' The momentum initially remains on Brann's side, who are pushing for a two-goal lead.

23' So now Salzburg have to ask themselves how to deal with this. In the first 25 minutes, the Red Bulls were anything but ready for this qualifying match.

Jacob Rasmussen makes a huge mistake! The ball is blasted forward from Norway's own half. Rasmussen loses a serious challenge to Sævar Atli Magnússon, who rushes to the ball and shoots past Schlager.

19' The game is getting more heated among the fans. The atmosphere in Bergen is fantastic. The match is still a bit disjointed in terms of play.

18' Jacob Sørensen also shoots from distance, but he slips and the ball rolls out of the goal.

16' The first quarter of an hour is over. Both teams are still playing cautiously. Myhre had the best chance so far after a solo effort.

13' Felix Myhre with a powerful finish! The number 8 player collects the ball in midfield and charges forward. From a good 20 meters, he fires, and the ball flies just wide of the left post.

11' Adam Daghim repeatedly attempts to launch runs up front. The Norwegians' outrunning trap is triggered every time, forcing him into the forbidden zone.

8' The Austrians get a good free kick opportunity, Oscar Gloukh shovels the ball towards the far post, but the ball goes out of play.

5' The first few minutes of this match were rather uneventful, with both teams feeling their way closer to their opponents.

3' The Red Bulls, dressed in blue today, initially let the hosts have possession of the ball and wait.

1' The game is on in Bergen!

6:46 PM Jan Aage Fjörtoft warns Salzburg of a difficult opening match against Brann: "In Austria, people might think Salzburg are the clear favorites. But not in my book. It wouldn't be a surprise to me if Brann beats Bergen over two games. Salzburg will be surprised by how passionate the fans are. They're always behind the team. It's us against everyone, that's their spirit."

6:46 PM The Norwegians have the classic advantage of having already started the season in March. Brann sits in third place in the Norwegian league. Today's hosts are in full swing, but lost 2-0 to KFUM Oslo last matchday.

6:46 p.m. The dress rehearsal for the opening match against SK Brann was not the 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid in Philadelphia, but a friendly match against Qarabag from Azerbaijan, which was won 2-1.

6:46 p.m. The Bulls from Wals-Siezenheim didn't win a title last season, but with a bit of luck, they still managed to secure the runner-up spot. This means they'll enter the second round of Champions League qualification today. At the Club World Cup, Salzburg broke new ground, picking up a win and a draw, earning just under €10 million, and flying home. After just under four weeks, the new season is now underway for the Bulls.

6:46 PM After competing in the FIFA Club World Cup just under a month ago, Salzburg are now moving on to Champions League qualifying. The game will be played at Brann Stadium in Bergen, Norway.

6:45 p.m. The Bulls start the new season: Hello and welcome to the match between SK Brann and RB Salzburg!
