Bodo/Glimt's Champions League dream lives on after a stunning 3-1 victory over Inter Milan at their home ground. The Norwegian underdogs defied the odds and tactical nous of the Italian giants to claim a famous scalp.
Despite conceding the opening goal to Inter's Francesco Esposito, Bodo/Glimt showed their resilience. They equalized through Sondre Fet, and then took the lead through a brace from Jens Hauge and Kasper Hogh. Bodo/Glimt's relentless pressing allowed them to win the ball high up the pitch, with Hogh and Fet combining for two goals and two assists.
In contrast, Inter struggled to impose their possession-based game plan. They enjoyed 58% of the ball but managed just 4 shots on target compared to Bodo/Glimt's 6. Inter's midfield trio of Barella, Mkhitaryan and Zielinski failed to dictate the tempo, recording a mere 7 tackles between them. This allowed Bodo/Glimt's midfielders to dominate the middle of the park.
The tactical masterstroke from Bodo/Glimt's manager was the use of their rapid wingers to exploit the high defensive line of Inter. Hauge and Hogh's blistering pace caused chaos, leading to Bodo/Glimt's second and third goals. Inter's failure to adapt and drop deeper ultimately cost them the match.
Bodo/Glimt defeated Inter 3–1 at the stadium in UEFA Champions League Round of 32. S. Fet (20'), F. Esposito (30'), J. Hauge (61'), K. Hogh (64') scored.
