Today’s Eliteserien match was in every possible way important for Bodø/Glimt, who are in a close and exciting race for Eliteserien gold with Viking. – Nevertheless, head coach Kjetil Knutsen chose to look into next week and pick out a team he thought was sufficient to secure victory in Saturday’s HamKam meeting.
Both know that the first one to blink gives up a lead that will be very difficult to catch up. The choice to save key players says something about the level differences in the Eliteserien. – All Bodø/Glimt players who played today would have a place at HamKam, while a few would have been true the other way.

Players such as top scorer Anders Helmersen, Jostein Gundersen, Fredrik Bjørkan and Sondre Brunstad Fet all started on the bench. The reason is that Glimt will face Napoli away in Italy in the Champions League already this coming Tuesday at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Ole Didrik Blomberg made it 1-0 in the first half, before he was taken off just before halftime after what looked like an injury.
“If he has avoided twisting, then I hope he will be ready again for Tuesday,” said Bodø/Glimt’s coach Kjetil Knutsen.
Just under 20 minutes after scoring, Joel Mvuka made it 2-0 when he sent the ball into the far corner with the outside of his foot.
