Champions League: Bodo/Glimt enter last 16 for first time, Newcastle also prevail
NEW DELHI: Bodo/Glimt held off a concerted comeback effort from Inter Milan to earn a place in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 for the first time with 5-2 aggregate win.
Former AC Milan attacker Jens Petter Hauge was again on target as the Norwegian outfit booked their last-16 spot with another eye-catching result against the three-time European champions.
The visitors had to soak up incessant Nerazzurri pressure for much of the opening hour, but there was no looking back after a close-range finish from Hauge and Håkon Evjen's classy strike gave them a four-goal cushion.
The hosts upped their intensity late on. Manuel Akanji swept Federico Dimarco's cutback onto the upright and then Alessandro Bastoni prodded in to cut the deficit, but there was no denying Kjetil Knutsen's side a famous victory.
