Brighton player ratings vs Tromsø: Trio shine as Seagulls progress into Conference League league phase

After struggling to break down their Norwegian opponents in the first leg just seven days ago, the Seagulls wasted no time in stamping their authority on the contest when Charalampos Kostoulas whipped his strike into the bottom corner after 22 minutes.

Maxim De Cuyper was then back among the goals just 11 minutes later. The Belgian picked the pocket of Tromsø’s Leon Hien whilst the defender looked to play out from the back before coolly slotting his shot beneath Jakob Haugaard.

Mats Wieffer then got in on the act before the interval, smashing his volley into the bottom corner after the ball deflected his way on the edge of the penalty area.
