Commentary
Bodo/Glimt pulled off another upset in European competition as they got their Champions League campaign up and running with a 1-0 win over Borussia Dortmund. They were by far the better side in the first half, with Fet going close to breaking the deadlock with an effort at goal that narrowly missed the target. Helmersen missed a couple of opportunities right after the break, but the opener arrived in the 52nd minute after Sjovold met Auklend's cross with a smart finish. Despite that impressive form, Dortmund were below par for large parts of the match. They were much improved towards the end, as Nwaneri missed a golden opportunity with a free header. Bodo/Glimt ended the match with an xG of 1.13, compared to 0.78 for Dortmund. They have moved up to 24th in the league, while Dortmund drop to 18th. That's all from me, thank you and goodbye!
HUGE SAVE IN THE DYING MINUTES! Haikin is positioned at his near post to keep out an effort from Nmecha!
There will be just two minutes of additional time for the second half.
The action is now almost entirely confined to the Bodo/Glimt half as Dortmund pile on the pressure. However, their momentum is briefly halted as Nwaneri's searching cross drifts out of play, prompting him to raise a hand in apology.
Bellinhgam has improved in this second half, but he's penalised for a needless foul on Brynhildsen. Bodo/Glimt are now able to move up the pitch and waste a bit of time, as the clock continues to tick down.
SO CLOSE! Ryerson picks out Bellingham inside the area. He feeds a pass across the six-yard box, with Sjovold nearly scoring an own goal with hs clearance from just yards out. The resulting corner leads to Nwaneri being picked out in space, but his shot is blocked from close range. It's beginning to get desperate for the home side.
