What Happened in the UEL Semi-Final First Leg Between Bodo/Glimt and Tottenham Hotspur?

Ange Postecoglou’s side welcomed Bodo/Glimt to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for their UEL semi-final first leg on May 1. With Spurs toiling in 16th place in the Premier League rankings, Europa League success is their solitary hope for salvation this season.

Luckily for the Australian coach, his players understood the assignment and put their noses in front inside the opening minute. Brennan Johnson got on the end of Tottenham’s first attack of the night, nodding Richarlison’s looping header in from close range.

In the 34th minute, James Maddison made it 2-0 for the hosts, superbly controlling Pedro Porro’s perfectly measured and sending his shot into the far corner.

Just before the hour mark, Bodo/Glimt gave away a penalty. Dominic Solanke stepped up for the kick and dispatched a clinical strike to make it 3-0 for Spurs. The visitors pulled one back in the 83rd minute through Ulrik Saltnes, capitalising on Tottenham’s lacklustre defending.

Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur: Prediction

With Bodo/Glimt getting many of their players back and Tottenham Hotspur potentially losing James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall, we will witness a noticeably different game this week. While the hosts will undoubtedly have their tails up, we do not see them getting past the Premier League side on aggregate.
