Summary
What a wild night of Champions League football at Aspmyra Stadion. From our perspective, this was a classic game of two halves that culminated in sheer drama. Tottenham Hotspur will feel they escaped with a point, while Bodø / Glimt are left wondering what could have been. The match, which ended in a chaotic 2-2 draw, was a rollercoaster of emotions.
Bodø / Glimt looked absolutely dominant for large stretches. They were let down by a shocking penalty miss from Kasper Høgh in the first half. A moment that felt pivotal even then. They didn't let it deter them though. The brilliant Jens Petter Hauge put them ahead and then doubled their lead with two sublime finishes. At 2-0, it felt like game over for a lackluster Spurs side.
But you can never count a team out in Europe. A powerful header from captain Micky van de Ven gave them hope. The pressure mounted in the final minutes. Then, heartbreak for the hosts as substitute Jostein Gundersen turned the ball into his own net in the 89th minute. A cruel end for a Bodø / Glimt side that deserved so much more from this match.

Here are Tottenham Hotspur Player Ratings vs Bodo Glimt
Goalkeeper
Guglielmo Vicario - 6.5: He couldn't do much about either of Hauge's excellent goals. He made two saves, including a decent one from a header in the first half. His distribution was solid with 85% passing accuracy. Overall, it was a night where he was mostly let down by the defenders in front of him. A standard performance in a chaotic game.
Defenders
Pedro Porro - 7.0: A typical Porro performance full of attacking intent and defensive lapses. He whipped in a perfect cross for van de Ven's goal which was a crucial moment. Created three chances in total. However, he also lost possession a staggering 22 times and was dribbled past four times. The late yellow card was just pure frustration. An agent of chaos.
Kevin Danso - 6.0: We noticed he had a bit of a mixed game. He made four clearances and a blocked shot, but never looked truly comfortable. Lost the ball 11 times and looked a bit slow to react for the opening goal. He won most of his aerial duels but struggled to impose himself on the game. An average night at the office.
Micky van de Ven - 8.0: The captain led by example. He was a rock at the back making a last-man tackle and several key clearances. His passing was almost perfect. Then he popped up with a vital goal, a powerful header to drag his team back into the match. A true leader's performance when his team needed it most.
Djed Spence - 6.0: A steady, if unspectacular, performance from Spence. He was tidy on the ball for the most part but offered very little going forward. Defensively he was okay, making a couple of interceptions and winning most of his duels. Substituted after 82 minutes for a more attacking option. Did his job without setting the world alight.

Midfielders
Pape Matar Sarr - 5.5: A very quiet evening for the midfielder. He recovered the ball six times which shows his work rate, but he was a passenger for large parts of the game. He offered little creativity and was bypassed too easily by the Bodø / Glimt midfield. It was no surprise to see him subbed off after 69 minutes.
Rodrigo Bentancur - 5.0: His rating is defined by one moment of madness. Conceding the penalty with a clumsy foul was a terrible mistake that could have cost his team the game. He was lucky Høgh missed. Outside of that, he was actually quite good, with 97% pass accuracy and winning seven duels. But you just can't make errors like that.
Lucas Bergvall - 6.5: From our perspective, the youngster showed some really promising signs. He created a big chance for Richarlison early on and was always looking to be positive. He drew a couple of fouls and worked hard. Faded a bit before being substituted on the hour mark. A decent learning experience for him.
Forwards
Brennan Johnson - 6.0: He was mostly anonymous during his 60 minutes on the pitch. He had one shot off target and struggled to get involved in the play. Lost the ball a few times and just couldn't make an impact. A disappointing outing for a player of his quality. He needs to do more in these big games.
Richarlison - 5.0: What has happened to him? He had just 10 touches in 90 minutes. Ten. For a starting striker, that is simply shocking. He had one big chance in the first half that he should have buried. Instead, he was a ghost for the entire match. A really poor performance.
Wilson Odobert - 6.5: He was one of Spurs' brighter sparks in attack, which isn't saying much. He was unlucky to hit the woodwork and always looked to take his man on. He completed all his duels and tackles. The final product was missing, but at least he showed some fight and desire.

Substitutes
Xavi Simons - 6.0: Came on but couldn't really influence the game.
Mohammed Kudus - 6.0: Brought energy but little else.
João Palhinha - 6.5: Helped shore up the midfield in the final stages.
Destiny Udogie - N/A: Not on long enough to rate.
Archie Gray - N/A: Had a late shot saved but wasn't on for long.
Manager
T. Frank - 6.0: His team selection and tactics were questionable as they were completely outplayed for an hour. They looked lost and devoid of ideas. He gets some credit for the comeback, but it felt more down to luck and individual brilliance than a tactical switch. Got out of jail.

Here are Bodo Glimt Player Ratings vs Tottenham Hotspur
Goalkeeper
Nikita Haikin - 6.5: Made a couple of good saves to deny Spurs, especially the one from Richarlison in the first half. He commanded his area well. There was nothing he could do about van de Ven's powerful header or the incredibly unlucky own goal. A solid performance from the keeper.
Defenders
Fredrik Sjøvold - 7.0: A really impressive display from the defender. He was solid at the back with three tackles and three interceptions. Going forward, he created two chances including one big one. His use of the ball was excellent. A complete performance that deserved a win.
Odin Luras Bjortuft - 6.5: A strong presence in the backline. He had a header well-saved in the first half and was dominant in the air. His passing was crisp and accurate, helping build from the back. He will be disappointed with the two goals conceded but his personal performance was good.
Haitam Aleesami - 7.0: He was incredibly composed. A 95% pass accuracy tells its own story. He was calm under pressure and read the game brilliantly, making two tackles and two clearances. A very classy performance from the veteran defender.
Fredrik Bjørkan - 7.5: What stood out to us was his constant energy down the left flank. He was a menace all night and his clever run won the penalty in the first half. He was also solid defensively, winning most of his tackles. A fantastic all-round display.

Midfielders
Patrick Berg - 6.5: The captain led with his usual tenacity and hard work. He screened the defence well and broke up play. However, he was a bit wasteful in possession and his delivery from set-pieces was inconsistent. The yellow card he picked up was a result of his frustration.
Sondre Fet - 6.0: He worked tirelessly but lacked quality in the final third. He missed a huge chance to score, blasting over from close range. His work rate can't be faulted, but on a night like this, you need more composure in front of goal. An opportunity missed for him.
Håkon Evjen - 8.5: A creative masterclass. He was the architect of everything good for Bodø / Glimt. He provided two brilliant assists for Hauge's goals. He created four chances in total and his vision and passing were on another level. A stunning performance, he was subbed late on.
Forwards
Sondre Auklend - 6.5: A lively and energetic presence in the attack. He created a couple of chances and his movement caused problems for the Spurs defence. He linked up play nicely before being taken off after 80 minutes. A promising display from the attacker.
Kasper Høgh - 4.5: Oh dear. It was a complete nightmare for the striker. The game could have been so different if he had scored his penalty. To blaze it over the bar was unforgivable. He also missed another big chance and was caught offside three times. A night he will want to forget immediately.
Jens Petter Hauge - 9.0: The best player on the pitch by a country mile. His two goals were of the highest quality, showing incredible skill and composure. He was a constant threat with his dribbling and shooting. He deserved to be on the winning side. A truly magnificent performance, he was our Man of the Match.
Substitutes
Andreas Helmersen - 6.5: Unlucky to see his powerful shot crash off the crossbar late on.
Ole Didrik Blomberg - 6.0: Added fresh legs but didn't have a major impact.
Jostein Gundersen - 4.0: Came on and scored a deeply unfortunate own goal to level the scores. A cruel moment.
Anders Klynge - N/A: On for the final few moments.
Manager
K. Knutsen - 7.5: His team was superb. They were tactically superior to Spurs for most of the game and played with courage and quality. He was let down by a missed penalty and a freak own goal. He can be incredibly proud of his team's performance, even if the result is a bitter pill to swallow.
