It should not be possible, but as wise man Arne Scheie has said: In football, anything can happen. The Bodø/Glimt phenomenon continues its journey with Kjetil Knutsen, on Thursday the players who held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford and sent Solskjaer’s Besiktas out of the Europa League had to bite the aspen grass.
With a steady course towards exit after regular playing time, the yellow horde of Bodø/Glimt players put in a gear that the FC Twente players did not think was available. Then it narrowed down with two goals in overtime. In the long run, Glimt showed on the pitch and in the stands their strength, which has shaken so many big clubs out in Europe.
5-2 victory in a “at Aspmyra anything can happen” game and further in the Europa League with an aggregate score of 6-4.
