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 a 52nd-minute goal from Fredrik Sjovold. The Norwegian side, with a remarkable home record against Europe's elite, extended their winning streak by taking the lead just after halftime. Despite Dortmund improving in the final half-hour, they were unable to score, with Felix Nmecha coming close to a late goal.
Dortmund's coach, Niko Kovac, acknowledged his team's lack of passion, stating that Bodo outperformed them in this aspect. Bodo's run to the round of 16 last season was fueled by their strong home form, with Aspmyra Stadium, the venue for the match, being the smallest in the competition. Despite arriving in the Arctic Circle on a seven-game unbeaten run, Dortmund struggled to make an impact at the Norwegian side's home ground.
