In the last ten years, Brann and Aalesund had been drawn together in the Norwegian Cup twice, each winning one tie; in the Fifth Round in 2002, Aalesund, who played on the second-tier that year, won the penalty shootout 6-5 after 120 minutes with 0–0 at Brann Stadion; Aalesund went on to reach the semi-final. Their next meeting was 3 years later, in the Fourth Round of the 2005 competition; Brann won the match 3-2 but were eliminated in the quarter-final.
