"That's where Bodø/Glimt sent shock waves through the soccer world by humiliating Premier League title contenders Manchester City 3-1. It was the team's first-ever win in Europe's most prestigious continental competition, and it could hardly have come in more impressive fashion. A brace by Kasper Waarst Høgh set the Norwegian club on course for the upset, but Jens Petter Hauge's stunning goal was the pick of the bunch."
"Bodø/Glimt's victory was the first by any Norwegian club in the Champions League since 2007, and they might not be done just yet -- as of Tuesday, they're only two points out of the knockout-round places. With a win over Atletico Madrid in the final matchweek, they'll be well placed to create even more moments of magic in the next round."
Bodø/Glimt, located about 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, stunned Manchester City with a 3-1 victory in the UEFA Champions League. The Norwegian club recorded its first-ever win in Europe's top continental competition. Kasper Waarst Høgh scored twice to set the team on course for the upset, while Jens Petter Hauge produced a standout curling goal past Gianluigi Donnarumma after a driving run past Rodri. Rodri was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in 53 seconds. Bodø/Glimt became the first Norwegian side to win a Champions League match since 2007 and sit two points shy of the knockout positions.
