😱 Bodø/Glimt punish City to make history in the Champions League 📹 | OneFootball

Manchester City tried to bounce back after their defeat to United.

But they didn’t expect to face such an inspired opponent this Tuesday (20th).

Playing in front of their home crowd at the modest Aspmyra Stadium – with a capacity of less than nine thousand fans – Bodø/Glimt overcame Guardiola’s team with authority.

Thanks to outstanding performances from Hogh, Hauge, and Blomberg, the Norwegian side won 3-1 in a match from the seventh round of the Champions League league phase.

They even hit the crossbar and had two goals disallowed.

It was their first victory in the tournament’s elite stage.

A negative highlight for Rodri, who was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in quick succession.

Where’s the defense, Pep?

Still without Guéhi and struggling with injuries in defense, Guardiola relied 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.

And doubled the lead two minutes later after Alleyne missed the ball.

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

Haaland’s big chance came at 45', but his shot grazed the right post.

Stunner, two disallowed, and Rodri takes center stage

City actually came back well after halftime.

But Bodø/Glimt had no intention of just sitting back.

They had a goal disallowed for offside and, shortly after, Hauge, formerly of Milan, scored the goal of the game (58') after a mistake by Rodri.

City pulled one back with Cherki (60').

But just two minutes later, Rodri picked up two yellow cards and was sent off early to the locker room.

Guardiola made a single substitution in an attempt to spark a comeback.

And Bodø/Glimt made history.

They reached six points and could go into the final round with a chance to qualify for the round of 16 playoffs.

City, meanwhile, stayed on 13. And could even drop out of the top 8 depending on the rest of the round.

Brugge still dreams

The first match of the day was played on Kazakh soil. And ended with a 4-1 win for Brugge.

The Belgian side reached seven points, moved up to 23rd place before the other matches, and still has a chance.

They will need to win in the final round – against Marseille – to fight for a playoff spot.

The victory was comfortable against a determined Kairat.

But it was a four-goal margin until Sadybekov scored a beautiful goal in the final play.

He even celebrated by taking off his shirt and showing it to the crowd, Messi-style.
