3 – 2
“Ole Didrik Blomberg broke the deadlock to give Bodø/Glimt a 1-0 lead on the night after a sustained period of pressure that saw Berg, Olaru and Smith all fire shots in quick succession at the end of the first half.”
Pivotal“Mohammed Fuseini, introduced as a substitute in the 61st minute, hauled Union Saint-Gilloise level at 2-2 with two minutes of normal time remaining, forcing extra time in a tie that had looked to be settling in Glimt's favour.”
Pivotal“Andreas Helmersen delivered the decisive blow in the 117th minute of extra time, converting to make it 3-2 on the night and 6-5 on aggregate, ending Union Saint-Gilloise's resistance and sending Bodø/Glimt through to the next round of the Champions League.”

Outstanding performance
Bodø / Glimt•AttackerBodø/Glimt dominated this tie on paper and across both legs, but they had to work extraordinarily hard to hold off a resilient Union Saint-Gilloise side that repeatedly dragged the tie back into contention. Controlling 70% of possession and firing 23 shots to Union's 19, the Norwegian champions looked comfortable when Ole Didrik Blomberg broke the deadlock on 51 minutes, only for Guilherme Smith to level almost immediately. Jens Petter Hauge restored the lead on 76 minutes, but Mohammed Fuseini — introduced as a substitute — equalised again on 88 minutes to force extra time in a match that had already seen four goals, multiple bookings, and Kamiel Van De Perre's second yellow card reduce Union to ten men. It was Andreas Helmersen who finally settled the tie in the 117th minute, turning home the winner to send the Norwegian side through 6-5 on aggregate in what was a breathless, chaotic night of European football. The victory means Bodø/Glimt progress in the Champions League, a remarkable achievement for a club from Bodø, while Union Saint-Gilloise exit a competition they had pushed hard in across both legs.

Kick-off! The referee is Istvan Kovacs.
After a breathless 3-3 first-leg draw in Brussels, Bodø/Glimt and Union Saint-Gilloise meet at Aspmyra Stadion with everything still to play for. A place in the Champions League play-off round is the prize, and a raucous Norwegian home crowd could be the difference in what promises to be an absorbing second leg.
