Brann and St. Mirren will square off in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League third-round qualification tie on Thursday. The tie is firmly in the balance, with the first leg having ended in a 1-1 draw in Scotland last week.
Both goals were scored in the final 15 minutes of the game. Felix Myhre gave the visitors the lead in the 75th minute while Toyosi Olusanya drew the game level on the 90-minute mark.
St. Mirren followed up the stalemate with a 3-1 defeat away to Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday. They went behind to Pape Habib Gueye's 39th-minute strike while Olusanya equalized once more in first-half injury time. Jamie McGrath and Vicente Besuijen scored second-half goals to help their side claim maximum points.
The focus will shift to the Conference League and the Buddies' quest to advance to the Conference League playoff round. Corvinul Hunedoara or Astana await the winner of this tie for a place in the group stage while the losers will be eliminated from the continent.
