Tromso 0-0 Brighton: Haugaard stands in the way
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- Shots 25 v 5, on target 6 v 1
- Haugaard made 6 saves to Verbruggen's 1
- All five Tromso shots came inside the box
Brighton's 25 shots brought no goal
Neither side found a way through, and the scoreline stayed goalless for the full match. Brighton had 25 shots, yet only six hit the target and eight were blocked. Volume without a cutting edge summed up the match, and the visitors took only a point from a fixture in which they dominated the ball.
A busy goalkeeper kept Tromso level
Tromso managed just 32 per cent of possession, so the work fell largely to their goalkeeper. Jakob Haugaard made six saves and matched Luka Vušković for the best data-provider rating in the match, at 8.2. Tromso leaned heavily on Haugaard, while Brighton's Bart Verbruggen was asked to make a single save.
Tromso's chances came from inside the box
Every one of Tromso's five shots came inside the box, whereas nine of Brighton's efforts were struck from outside it. David Edvardsson was the home side's link, and his three key passes were the most of any Tromso player. Few shots, all close in was the pattern of their attacking.
Brighton lacked the final touch
Pascal Groß created six chances, the most in the match, but none ended in a goal. In FN xPts terms Brighton began on 1.8, and with no goal arriving, the passage of time took −0.8 from that figure. Creation without a finish was the story, and Tromso's own FN xPts did not move.
Player of the match
Luka Vušković 7.9Strong
He won 12 of 14 duels, the most of any player in the match.
Most of Vušković's FN Score came from his defending, with two tackles and two interceptions, and he also completed 96 of 105 passes. With the match goalless throughout, that blend of stopping and building helped keep Brighton's back line secure, and Tromso mustered only one shot on target. He was booked in the 48th minute.
