Norwegian club Bryne have come up with a novel approach by awarding eggs as their Man Of The Match reward.

Bryne were beaten 1-0 by Bodø/Glimt in their season opener on Sunday, but they were kept in the match by goalkeeper Jan de Boer, who pulled off a string of fine stops and saved a second-half penalty.

After the final whistle, the 24-year-old Dutchman was presented with his prize which took the surprise form of four trays of eggs.

This unusual reward is a nod to the club's strong connection with local agriculture, which is dominated by meat and dairy production.

Such is the association with farming, supporters are often heard chanting "we are farmers and we are proud of it" at matches.
