The winning streak was broken. Useful, says Brann's coach.

Brann women’s football team suffered a 3-0 defeat to NC Courage in their last training match in Marbella after winning their previous two matches.

In their final training match in Marbella, the Brann women’s football team faced a tough opponent in NC Courage, a U.S. team that finished ninth in their league last year. After a promising start with victories against Rosenborg and Tromsø, Brann struggled against NC Courage, going down 3-0, including two goals conceded before halftime. Despite the setback, Brann's coach views the experience as valuable for the team’s development.

The match against NC Courage highlighted areas where Brann can improve, particularly in terms of defensive coordination and responding to high-pressure situations. Such matches against international teams can serve as a critical learning opportunity, allowing players to gauge their performance against competitors from different playing styles and leagues. This encounter will likely be a pivotal point for Brann as they prepare for their upcoming season.

Brann’s recent training regimen has focused on building a strong cohesive unit, and this defeat may provide motivation for the players to work harder. As they move forward, the team will integrate the lessons learned from the loss and aim to continue pushing their limits in upcoming competitions.
