Brighton overwhelm Tromso 4-0 in Europa Conference League playoff
Brighton eased into a commanding position in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round with a 4-0 victory over Tromso at the Amex Stadium. Fabian Hurzeler's side were ruthless from the first half onward, with the tie already effectively settled by half-time as they raced into a three-goal cushion before adding a fourth late on.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Charalampos Kostoulas opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, converting an assist from Maxim De Cuyper, before De Cuyper turned scorer himself eleven minutes later to double the lead. Mats Wieffer then added a third in the 38th minute, finishing off a Kostoulas assist, leaving Tromso with a mountain to climb before the interval had even arrived. Olivier Boscagli completed the rout with a fourth in the 86th minute.
The statistics reflected Brighton's dominance throughout, as they enjoyed 78% possession and produced 21 shots to Tromso's five, eight of which were on target compared to none for the visitors. Tromso, managed by Jorgen Vik, were unable to register a single shot on goal despite picking up seven corners fewer and committing fewer fouls than their hosts.
Boscagli capped the win with a goal and the highest rating on the pitch at 9.7, while De Cuyper contributed a goal and an assist in a productive afternoon.
Brighton's total of eight shots on target against none for Tromso underlined the gulf in attacking threat between the two sides.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Brighton 86%, the draw 11%, Tromso 3%. It finished Brighton 4–0 Tromso.
Brighton's rating gap decides it — Brighton are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Brighton's 86%. The draw at 11% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Brighton at 86%?
Brighton sit 520 points higher on our strength rating — 1980 to 1461. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.7% of 5,090 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 89–9–2.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 86% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 11% and Tromso at 3%.
Why is the draw only 11%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 10.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,666.
What did we measure but not count?
Tromso have 13 fully-tracked matches with us — under our usual 25-game bar — but their strength rating is anchored to the long-run European club ratings list, which carries their wider competitive history into the number. Clubs from leagues we don't fully cover play too few tracked games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from published long-run club ratings instead of a blind first guess.
