Stunning save from the Tromso stopper. An Albion corner is cleared to the edge of the box for Ibrahim Osman to strike. It looks destined for the bottom left corner, but somehow Jakob Haugaard dives across to get fingertips on it and keep it out. His teammates run over to give him some praise, he deserves it too.

Corner, Brighton and Hove Albion. Conceded by David Edvardsson.

Not entirely sure how that's not a penalty as Isak Dalhqvist allows Ibrahim Osman to go beyond him and then trips the Albion man from behind in the box. The referee waves away the claims from the visiting players.

A great chance for Ibrahim Osman to find his first goal in a Brighton shirt as Diego Gomez plays the ball across the face of goal and the winger is there to meet it at the back stick, but it's well blocked by Isak Dahlqvist. It looks like it should be an Albion corner, but the referee gives a goal-kick.

Offside, Tromsø. Heine Larsen is caught offside.

First Half begins.

Tromso get us underway. Come on Brighton!

The teams take to the field, with Tromso on their third club anthem. It's been a thoroughly enjoyable build up to kick off. Albion fans did a good job of drowning out some of the hosts' songs with Sussex by the Sea. We're just a moment away from getting our season started.

The Tromso team make their way out to a remix of the 21st Century Fox intro music. Quite the welcome. The Albion fans have been in good voice too though, serenading the goalkeepers as they prepare Bart Verbruggen for the match.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
