"Pep Guardiola, your Manchester City boys took a heck of a beating here on the shores of the Norwegian Sea, below the skies of the aurora borealis, and on the Aspmyra Stadion's artificial pitch graced by this immortal Bod/Glimt victory which downed a continental superpower. Jonas Gahr Stre was present to witness a win that came courtesy of Kasper Hgh's two first-half goals plus Jens Petter Hauge's curled peach after the interval,"
"To comprehend Bod's triumph, think Macclesfield's FA Cup third round knockout of the holders, Crystal Palace; Guardiola's team are not the European champions but they were three years ago, the same season they claimed a historic treble. In 2017 Bod/Glimt played in Norway's second tier, but by last year having never won the national championship before this run they were the four-in-a-row Eliteserien victors under Kjetil Knutsen."
Bod/Glimt defeated Manchester City 3-0 at Aspmyra Stadion under the aurora, with Kasper Hgh scoring twice in the first half and Jens Petter Hauge adding a curled goal after the interval. Jonas Gahr Støre attended the match. Nikita Haikin produced saves, while City missed chances through Phil Foden and Erling Haaland. The victory echoes historic upsets and highlights Bod/Glimt's rapid rise from Norway's second tier in 2017 to multiple league titles under Kjetil Knutsen. Bod/Glimt have seven Champions League points; Manchester City sit on 13, leaving qualification finely balanced.
