"Champions League runner-ups Inter Milan became the latest scalp claimed by Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League, as the Italian giants lost 3-1 away in the first leg of their playoff. The Norwegian outsiders have been the surprise story of this season's competition after beating Manchester City at home and Atletico Madrid away to make the playoffs. The club is located north of the Arctic Circle which is farther north than any team in Champions League history."
"Although burly striker Pio Esposito equalised with an opportunist finish 10 minutes later, the home side picked off Inter with two goals in quick succession in the second half. Both were similar, with quick passing and unselfish assists. For the second goal, forward Kasper Hogh rolled the ball for Jens Petter Hauge to launch a powerful shot into the top corner in the 61st. The winger, who once had a brief spell in Serie A with AC Milan, jumped and kicked the corner flag in celebration."
Bodo/Glimt defeated Inter Milan 3-1 in the Champions League playoff first leg at the 8,000-capacity Aspmyra Stadion, extending a surprise run that included wins over Manchester City and Atletico Madrid. Sondre Brunstad Fet opened the scoring in the 20th minute, and Pio Esposito equalised about 10 minutes later. Jens Petter Hauge struck in the 61st minute after a Kasper Hogh assist, and Hogh then scored three minutes later after an Ole Didrik Blomberg pass. The club is based north of the Arctic Circle. The return leg is scheduled for next Tuesday. Elsewhere, Club Brugge drew 3-3 with Atletico Madrid after Christos Tzolis scored a late VAR-confirmed equaliser.
