"Bodo/Glimt" Vikings amaze Europe

Norway's Bodo/Glimt continues its successful performance in Europe. The Norwegian representative has qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa League for the first time in its history. GOL.az reports that Bodo representative faced Lazio in Rome in the return match of the 1/2 final stage, which they won 2:0 in the first match. Although the home team managed to take the match to extra time and even make the score 3:0 in the 100th minute, the Norwegians showed Viking-like determination. Bodo made the match a penalty shootout thanks to Andreas Helmersen's goal in the 109th minute to make the score 3:1. They were superior in the series - 3:2. In 2 episodes, Russian Nikita Khaykin saved Bodo/Glimt from a goal. What did they say after the game? Bodø/Glimt head coach Kyetil Knutsen said: "I believe not in miracles, but in the path we have taken. But today a miracle happened. We had an extraordinary game. We are incredibly proud to have reached the semi-finals." Bodo/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Khaykin said: "This is a great achievement. We are very happy. This is a historic event not only for our club, but for all of Norwegian football. I was upset about the opportunities we missed. But this is an integral part of football, and that's why we love this game. In the penalty shootout, I trusted my intuition. I didn't immediately realize that we had won the moment I saved Castellanos' shot. Then I saw the kids running and I joined them." Lazio head coach Marko Baroni said: "The result is disappointing because we played a great game. The team played very well and the fans continued to support us. The kids fought with energy and heart. I am proud of them and congratulate both them and everyone who supports us." Lazio captain Mattia Dzaccagni said: "Very sorry. It was almost a perfect game. We played with high intensity for 120 minutes and did not lag behind in any way. Our coach wanted that from us too. Maybe we could have been a little more careful in the episode with the goal conceded." It should be reminded that Bodo/Glimt was one of the 8 opponents of Qarabag in the Europa League this season. The Azerbaijani champion won its only victory (2:1) on the road against this team.
