Fet, celebrating the opening goal
BODO/Glimt’s fairytale continues as they added Inter Milan to their list of prized scalps to put them within touching distance of a place in the Champions League last 16.
Bodo are still in their off season in Norway, yet they overpowered Inter in the second half — having beaten Manchester City and Atletico Madrid last month.
Jens Petter Hauge and Kapser Waarts Hogh struck inside three second-half minutes after Francesco Pio Esposito had cancelled out Sondre Fet’s opener.
Inter may be eight points clear at the top of Serie A and have been Champions League finalists in two of the past three seasons, but they were made to look ordinary by Bodo in the Arctic Circle.
Bodo took the lead after 20 minutes on their artificial surface when Hogh backheeled the ball for Fet to finish expertly.
Inter responded and former Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian hit the post before Nicolo Barella shot straight at Bodo goalkeeper Nikita Haikin.
Inter’s pressure paid off and when Carlos Augusto’s header from Barella’s cross was blocked, the ball fell to Esposito who turned and fired home.
The visitors and three-time winners were denied by the woodwork again when Lautaro Martinez hit the post before Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer touched Hogh’s drive over.
Inter did not heed that warning and Bodo took full advantage to score a third when Ole Didrik Blomberg squared the ball for Hogh to tap home.
