Bodø/Glimt Shock Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at Aspmyra

The result deepens questions about Dortmund's Champions League away form.

Overview

  • Bodø/Glimt beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at Aspmyra on Wednesday, with defender Fredrik Sjövold scoring the match winner.
  • Norwegian outlets celebrated the victory and mocked Dortmund, calling the result a major home triumph for Kjetil Knutsen's side.
  • German reporting noted this loss as part of a wider away problem for Dortmund in the Champions League, described by some outlets as a fourth straight away defeat.
  • The match took place north of the Arctic Circle on Aspmyra's artificial turf, a setting that visiting teams have struggled with and that has helped Bodø build a record of surprises against top clubs.
  • The win, paired with Viking's result in Stavanger the day before, left Norwegian clubs with four points from two fixtures against Bayern and Dortmund and may increase scrutiny on Dortmund's coach Niko Kovač and the team's European away approach.
