Match report:

Shamelessly pinched from the IK Brage website (it says we were lucky):

728 åskådare såg på när Brage lyckades spela 1-1 mot engelska division 1-laget Reading FC i en träningsmatch på Domnarvsvallen. Mounir Tajiou gjorde Brages ledningsmål och Reading kvitterade med bara tre minuter kvar att spela. Brage kunde lika gärna ha vunnit, då man skapade fler målchanser och spelade riktigt bra.

Match notes:

None.

Match preview:

Reading have announced a probable line-up of:
Jamie Ashdown, Ricky Newman, Steve Brown, Adie Williams, Nicky Shorey, Scott Murray, James Harper, Andy Hughes, John Salako, Martin Butler, Nicky Forster
Subs: Marcus Hahnemann, John Mackie, Steve Sidwell, Kevin Watson, Bas Savage, Darius Henderson, Nathan Tyson

This should therefore be Nicky Forster's first game of the season.

Ticket information:

None (no information rather than no tickets!).
