The last point in Arauca’s European adventure. Daniel Ramos’s side failed to capitalize on a 2-1 win in the first leg and lost on Thursday afternoon 1-3 in Norway, with an aggregate score of 3-4 in a draw that allowed SK Brann to seal the match. Passport to the playoffs.
In the first half, the wolves of Serra da Freita had already lost with a score of 0-3, and Sela still gave hope for a 1-3 draw in the 57th minute, but the result did not change, as Arouca said goodbye to the competition.
Daniel Ramos’ side threw it all away with a terrible first half in which the Norwegians took advantage of several defensive mistakes in Arrukins and scored three goals in the first 45 minutes and practically ruled a draw. The last minutes before the break were fatal, as they conceded two goals (42 and 45) for the Portuguese team.
In the second half, Aruka tried to respond, and the truth is that he managed to be better than Bran. Sela reduced in the 57th minute and gave hope to the team coached by Daniel Ramos. After 61 minutes, Cristo Gonzalez hit the crossbar and went close to the Portuguese team’s second goal, which equalized the tie.
Bran, sensing danger, falls to the ground. In the final minutes, even after being reduced to ten items due to Nino Gallovic’s second yellow card, Arauca still had a great chance to score the second goal. However, Lawal, well placed, shoots two of Brann’s defenders.
It was the last sigh of the Arouquenses who left Europe through the small door after an exhibition in Norway marked by their collective immaturity.
