On June 18, 1995, when Start welcomed Tromsø at home in Kristiansand, expectations were sky-high. The team was known for its attacking football, but few knew that this match would become one of the most dramatic in the club's history. Tromsø, at the time a strong opponent, led 3-0 at halftime, and it seemed that Start would have to face a bitter defeat.

But that’s when the magic happened. Start emerged in the second half with renewed energy and determination. Players like Morten Krogstad and Lars Bohinen began to take initiative, and slowly but surely, they started to pressure Tromsø. An early goal from Krogstad gave the team a new hope, and the stadium erupted with cheers.

With just ten minutes left in the match, Start had equalized with two goals. It was as if a wave of confidence washed over the team, and Tromsø was put under immense pressure. In the 90th minute, with the clock ticking down, Start earned a free kick near the edge of the penalty area.

Krogstad, who had been a driving force throughout the match, took on the responsibility. He sent the ball towards goal, and after a slight touch from an opponent, it found the back of the net. The celebration was immense; Start had turned 0-3 into 4-3. This match is not just a part of Start's history, but also a part of Kristiansand as a football city.

What made this comeback even more special was how the team displayed character and unity. This was not just a victory; it was proof that with hard work and belief in oneself, anything is possible. For the supporters, who had witnessed the team fight back from what seemed like an impossible situation, this became a moment they would never forget.

In hindsight, this match has become part of the club's folklore, often referenced when new players try to understand what Start stands for. It serves as a reminder that in football, as in life, one can always rise again, no matter how hopeless it appears.

Today, as we look back on this incredible match, it is clear that Start's history is filled with such moments of bravery and spirit. June 18, 1995, will always be a date that reminds us of the club's soul and strength.
