7M - Bodo/Glimt Continue Their Champions League Miracle

Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt maintained their remarkable journey in the Champions League by securing a commanding 3-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the first leg of the round of 16 on March 12, 2026.

Following their impressive qualification by defeating Inter Milan, Bodo/Glimt showcased their prowess in front of enthusiastic supporters. The scoring opened in the 32nd minute with a penalty converted by Sondre Brunstad Fet. Ole Didrik Blomberg then doubled their lead just before halftime, expertly finding the net after exploiting gaps in Sporting's defense.

In the second half, Kasper Hogh extended the lead to 3-0, finishing a well-placed pass from Jens Hauge. This significant advantage places Bodo/Glimt in a favorable position to progress to the quarter-finals, with a three-goal cushion that will be difficult for Sporting to overcome.

Sporting will face a tall order to turn the tie around, as demonstrated by Inter Milan's struggles against Bodo/Glimt earlier in the tournament, where they lost both legs.
