Giant-killers Bodo sink Dortmund in Champions League
The Norwegian side extended their remarkable home record against Europe’s elite with a 1-0 win at the 8,200-capacity Aspmyra Stadium.
Bodo/Glimt secured a 1-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday, thanks to Fredrik Sjovold's 52nd-minute goal. The Norwegian side, known for their strong home record against top European teams, extended their remarkable run at Aspmyra Stadium. Sjovold scored the crucial strike just after halftime, while Dortmund struggled to find a response, despite a late attempt by Felix Nmecha.
Dortmund coach Niko Kovac expressed disappointment, stating that his team lacked the necessary passion and intensity to win the game. Bodo's coach, Tone Iversen, praised her team's performance, noting that they "deserved to lose" and that their opponents were superior. This defeat marks Dortmund's first since the opening German Super Cup of the season, joining Manchester City, Inter Milan, and Sporting as recent big-name victims at Bodo's 8,200-capacity home ground, the smallest venue in this year's competition.
