Brighton & Hove Albion cruised past Tromsø IL in the Europa Conference League playoff round, winning 4-0. They took control early, opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, and never let the visitors into the game.
Charalampos Kostoulas finished Maxim De Cuyper's assist for the opener, and De Cuyper made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute. Mats Wieffer added a third five minutes later, and Olivier Boscagli completed the scoring in the 86th minute. Tromsø's Alexander Thongla-Iad Warneryd was booked in the 44th minute.
Brighton dominated every department: 78% possession, 21 shots to Tromsø's five, and eight on target to zero. Tromsø failed to register a single shot on target, while Brighton's goalkeeper was not forced into a save. A complete, one-sided night for the home side.
