Tromso demolished CFR Cluj in the third qualifying round of the Europa Conference League, as a 2-1 win at home meant they won the tie 7 to 1 on aggregate. The Romanians believed they could stage a comeback after losing 5-0 at home, but Tromso had other plans and still won in front of their fans, although the match appeared much more difficult than the first leg. Tromso have shown that teams in Norway should not be underestimated, and their reward for that impressive performance is a meeting with Brighton in the play-off round for the league phase of the competition, NRK reports. Tromso Earn Brighton Test Brighton are one of the toughest teams in the Premier League and did well to qualify for European competition last season. They have some of the best players in England in their squad and have kept most of their important stars in the group this summer. The fixture will allow Tromso to show whether there is a difference in quality between the Norwegian top flight and the Premier League. It will be a major test for the Norwegian side after their convincing success against CFR Cluj. Brighton will enter the tie with considerable quality in their squad, but Tromso have already demonstrated that they can compete effectively in European competition. Their performance across the two legs against CFR Cluj has given them confidence ahead of the play-off round. Brighton Cannot Underestimate Tromso However, Brighton will know that they cannot underestimate the Tromso team, considering their form in the previous round. The English side will need to take the Norwegian team seriously if they want to avoid an unexpected result. Tromso’s 7-1 aggregate victory has sent a clear message that they are capable of causing problems for opponents who do not approach them with the required focus. Their home victory in the second leg also showed that they can deliver results even when facing greater pressure. For Tromso, the meeting with Brighton represents an opportunity to test themselves against Premier League opposition. They will know the challenge is significant, but their form against CFR Cluj means they can approach the tie with confidence. Brighton, meanwhile, will be expected to use their quality and experience to control the contest. Still, Tromso have earned their place in the play-off round and will be determined to make the most of the opportunity.
