Outstanding performance
Bodø / Glimt•MidfielderBodø/Glimt dominated from start to finish, racking up 27 shots and 65% possession while suffocating Sandefjord with 124 dangerous attacks to their opponents' 29. Jens Petter Hauge opened the scoring before half-time, and Andreas Helmersen's quickfire double just after the hour mark turned a routine home win into a rout at 3-0. But Sandefjord, who managed just 3 shots on target all game, found late resolve through substitute-fueled goals from Jakob Dunsby and Evangelos Patoulidis, both scored after coming off the bench, to make the scoreline respectable. The result keeps Bodø/Glimt's title credentials intact and continues their imperious home form, while Sandefjord will take some encouragement from a spirited final half-hour despite the damage already done. Glimt's clinical edge - converting three of their limited big chances - contrasted sharply with Sandefjord's toothless first-half showing before their bench sparked a mini-revival.

League leaders Bodø/Glimt host bottom-half strugglers Sandefjord looking to shake off a bruising 5-0 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich and keep pace at the top of Eliteserien. With Viking just three points behind, Glimt can't afford any slip-ups against a Sandefjord side fighting to escape the relegation zone.
