St Mirren spark missing against Brann as Ellery Balcombe keeps Conference League flame burning - 3 talking points
St Mirren battled back from a goal down to earn a dramatic Europa Conference League draw against Brann at the SMISA Stadium. Felix Myhre put Brann ahead on 75 minutes before Toyosi Olusanya equalised in stoppage time to effectively make it a winner takes all game next Thursday. The Buddies opened their Scottish Premiership campaign with a 3-0 win on Sunday against Hibs, carrying on the feel good factor from that aggregate 4-1 victory in the second qualifying round over Valur last week. Meanwhile, the Bergen team were involved in a cracker and beat Stromsgodset in the Eliteserien 3-2 at the weekend, having got the better of Go Ahead Eagles to set up this tie at the SMISA Stadium. The first real chance fell to Niklas Castro after 12 minutes after he got played in nicely put his attempted lob was easily dealt with by Ellery Balcombe. Straight afterwards Saints had an opportunity but Jonah Ayunga just couldn’t sort his feet out.
