SK Brann saw off FC Universitatea Cluj 3-1 in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Norwegian side took an early lead through Niklas Castro, but Cluj hit back to level before half-time. Brann regained the advantage just before the break and added a third in the second half to secure the win.
Niklas Castro put Brann ahead in the 8th minute with a goal assisted by Denzel De Roeve. Jovo Lukić equalised for the visitors in the 26th minute. Ulrik Mathisen struck right on the stroke of half-time, in the 45th minute, to make it 2-1, with Castro providing the assist. Castro then completed his brace in the 75th minute, finishing a Jacob Lungi Sørensen assist to seal the victory.
Niklas Castro was the key figure, scoring twice and setting up Mathisen's goal, though he was also booked in the 32nd minute. With no detailed box score available, the flow of the game is best told by the goal timeline and the five yellow cards, which included bookings for Dino Mikanović, Marius Ștefănescu, Dorin Codrea, and Alexandru Chipciu.
