Aliou Coly saved on the line with his hand. TV 2 expert Jesper Mathisen is amazed at what he perceives as awkward protests from Brann afterwards.
It ended 1-1 between Kristiansund and Brann on Sunday night, but towards the end of the match, the guests felt cheated for a penalty kick.

Daouda Bamba got the ball in a good position inside the box and fired off. The finish, however, was saved on the line by captain Aliou Coly.
Huseklepp: – Scandal
However, the TV replay showed that the Kristiansund player used his hand to stop the shot to Bamba, but referee Espen Eskås did not get it.
The situation was hotly debated by the experts in TV 2’s FotballXtra studio.
– It is a scandal that it is not judged there, said Erik Huseklepp.
– It’s a huge hand, the former Brann player stated.
He was supported by expert colleague Jesper Mathisen.
– He’s a goalkeeper. It is a penalty kick and a red card, said Mathisen.
– It’s completely wild. Where’s the assistant referee then? Did he fall asleep? Has he gone home? Did he not join the plane? He is on the right side and has great insight, or a view, or call it whatever you want to the situation. And none of them can see it. Coly jumps down and the ball goes straight into his left hand, he continues.
Astonished Mathisen
The TV 2 expert was also surprised by the few protests from Branns players.

– They have to protest much harder. See how awkward Bamba protests. They really have to show the judge that here he is completely on the ground. The fire players must protest in a completely different way. There is a small gentle arm in the air and yes, I think it went in the arm. No, it went in the arm. They should have penalties and he should have a red card.
The episode happened just over ten minutes before the end. By this time Amahl Pellegrino had sent the hosts ahead, while Bamba had equalized for Brann.
The lead goal came after 63 minutes. Sondre Sørli was played through by Olaus Skarsem and put on the ground by goalkeeper Håkon Opdal. From the chalk mark, top scorer Pellegrino was confident and sent the hosts in the lead.
The equalizer came after 72 minutes. Petter Strand and Robert Taylor combined well, before the latter came to an end. Goalkeeper Sean McDermott gave a return and it traded Bamba in the net.
