SK Brann's players and staff celebrated with a golden shower after their home match against Lillestrøm, a mood captured in a new photo series. Bergensavisen published ten photographs taken by Emil Weatherhead Breistein showing the locker room party after the final whistle on Friday, September 5th.

They have scored 37 goals and conceded 29, giving them a positive goal difference of eight. Despite the 1-2 defeat, it was an emotional end to the match, captured in detail by the football photographer.
Emil Weatherhead Breistein was behind the camera for the visual report published by Bergensavisen on Saturday, September 6th. The series of ten images was updated, just one minute after the initial publication. The pictures show a team sticking together in adversity, offering a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes atmosphere immediately after a tough game. This is an important part of the club's culture that fans seldom see.
Midfielder Laura Kaminski followed the match from her home in England and could not join the celebration in person. Instead, she Facetimed her mother when the game ended to share the moment. This highlights how modern technology allows players to be present remotely, even when they are far away due to other commitments or injuries. Kaminski is a key player for Brann, and her absence on the pitch is noticeable.

They are a full 21 points behind league leaders Bodø/Glimt, making it very difficult to stay in the title race. It's clear the team needs a better run of form to climb the standings.
