Bodo/Glimt does it again! Norwegian side beats Champions League runner-up Inter
in playoffs
BODO, Norway (AP) --- Champions League runner-up Inter Milan became the latest
big club to fall against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League, losing 3-1 away in
the first leg of their playoff on Wednesday.
The Norwegian outsider has 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.
Serie A leader Inter was seeking a seventh straight win in all competitions but
fell behind in the 20th minute when midfielder Sondre Brunstad Fet netted with
a neat finish.
Although burly striker Pio Esposito equalized 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.
The fans at the 8,000-capacity Aspmyra Stadion were cheering again three
minutes later when Hogh scored the third goal after being teed up by Ole Didrik
Blomberg.
The return leg is next Tuesday. -__
