⏱️ City trail against Bodø/Glimt and lose Rodri to a red card | OneFootball

Manchester City took to the field this Tuesday (20th) with the mission of leaving behind the bad image left by their defeat to United.

But Guardiola’s team is being thrashed by Bodø/Glimt on Norwegian soil, playing at the small Aspmyra Stadium. 

Kasper Hogh scored twice in the first half. Hauge got the third and Cherki pulled one back to make it 3-1 for the moment. 

Bodø/Glimt is seeking its first win in the elite stage of the Champions League.

Where’s the defense, Pep?

Still without Guéhi and struggling with absences in defense, Guardiola bet on youngsters Alleyne and Khusanov in the back line.

They didn’t understand each other. And the home team took advantage.

Hogh opened the scoring in the 22nd minute after receiving a cross completely unmarked.

Hogh still had a great chance for a third, but mishit after a good run by Hauge. 

City had the expected greater possession. But it wasn’t productive. 

Haaland’s big chance came in the 45th minute, but his shot skimmed past the right post. 

The second half came, and with it, more Bodø/Glimt.

Former Milan player Hauge scored a screamer in the 58th minute.

City responded with Cherki two minutes later.

But they were left with one man down after Rodri picked up two yellow cards in quick succession. 

City remains on 13 points. They are currently in fourth place.

The Norwegian side is now up to six points. And keeping alive their hopes of reaching the round of 16 playoffs.
