Bodø/Glimt beat Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 3-2 in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier. The hosts controlled the ball and created far more shooting opportunities, yet the margin stayed at a single goal.
Bodø/Glimt had 70% possession and 23 shots, nine of which were on target, while Union managed 19 shots with five on target. Both sides created five big chances, but the home side scored from two of theirs, whereas Union missed all five of theirs and still scored twice from other situations.
Union's goalkeeper made five saves to keep the tie alive, and Bodø/Glimt's keeper three. The 10 corners to one in the hosts' favour underlined their territorial dominance, although the visitors' five big chances show they remained a threat throughout.
