Bodo/Glimt edge Union St. Gilloise in extra time

A tight UEFA Champions League clash settled by Helmersen's late strike.

Bodo/Glimt secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Union St. Gilloise after extra time in the UEFA Champions League. Goals from Blomberg and Hauge gave Bodo/Glimt the lead twice, but Union St. Gilloise fought back through Carvalho and Fuseini to force extra time. Ultimately, Helmersen's decisive goal in the 117th minute sealed the win for the home side. Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a home win was on the money, though the exact scoreline proved more dramatic than expected.
