Union president Lisa Klawines said: "This is one of the biggest surprises in performance and result in the history of modern football in the Champions League. Norway recently became a nightmare for the Italians, as the Italian national team lost to the Norway led by Haaland, Manchester City's star, and Bodo/Glimt eliminated Lazio. The team from the Arctic Circle was like a fairytale. The Norwegian Football Federation describes the victory of the local club Bodo/Glimt over Serie A leaders Inter Milan in the decisive match, which secured their place in the Round of 16 of the Champions League, as 'the greatest achievement in Norwegian football'. Another exceptional result for a Norwegian team in Milan. Inter was defeated at San Siro, and the 5-2 aggregate victory is one of the greatest achievements in the history of Norwegian clubs." After the guests surprised Inter with a 3-1 win in the first leg in Bodo, Bodo/Glimt increased their miracle in the aggregate score when Jens Petter Hauge scored a goal from a counter-attack in the 58th minute, and they then raced towards their dream about 14 minutes later when Haakon Evjen effectively decided the outcome of the match.
