Match Overview

Tottenham claimed a valuable point last night in northern Norway as an 89th-minute own goal from Bodø/Glimt substitute Jostein Gundersen ensured a 2-2 draw in the Champions League main phase’s second round. The English side trailed by two goals due to a brace from Jens Hauge, but responded with a quick strike from Micky van de Ven and benefitted from a late defensive misfortune by Bodø/Glimt.

First-Half Incidents and Missed Opportunities

The first significant action arrived shortly after the half-hour, as Fredrik Bjørkan was brought down inside the penalty area. Although the incident was initially overlooked by the referee, intervention from VAR saw a penalty awarded to Bodø/Glimt. Kasper Høgh, however, was unable to capitalise, failing to convert from the spot. The Norwegian outfit created two further chances before the interval but could not break the deadlock.

Hauge’s Double and Tottenham’s Response

Bodø/Glimt’s breakthrough came in the 53rd minute, when Jens Hauge cut in from the left and found the net with a diagonal effort. Hauge continued to impress, doubling his tally in the 66th minute by receiving the ball on the edge of the area and drilling home a powerful shot to make it 2-0.

Tottenham responded almost immediately in the 68th minute: Pedro Porro supplied a cross that Micky van de Ven finished, reducing the deficit to 2-1. The match remained open, with both teams carving out opportunities as full-time approached.

Late Drama and Group Standing

As the match entered the 89th minute, Archie Gray’s pass meant for Richarlison was inadvertently steered past his own goalkeeper by Jostein Gundersen, as the defender attempted to deny the Brazilian a tap-in. The goal ensured Tottenham avoided defeat and now sit on four points following their opening round victory over Villarreal. Bodø/Glimt, after previously drawing with Slavia Prague, recorded their second consecutive tie in the group.
