An unimaginable scenario happened at Giuseppe Meazza. Inter Milan - the reigning European runner-up - suffered a humiliating defeat against one of the lowest rated teams in the Champions League this season.
In the opposite direction, Bodo/Glimt, with a total squad value of only about 57 million Euros, have shown a textbook lesson in the ability to take advantage of opportunities. In the second leg, the Norwegian representative only needed two really dangerous opportunities to score both decisive goals.
In the 58th minute, Jens Petter Hauge punished Manuel Akanji's unforgivable mistake with a cold-blooded finish, opening the second leg score. In the 72nd minute, Giuseppe Meazza stadium was stunned when Hakon Evjen shot into the home team's net, raising the total score of the play-off to 5-1.
Late efforts only helped Inter narrow the gap thanks to Alessandro Bastoni's goal. The Serie A representative bitterly accepted defeat right at home, in a game where they should blame themselves for wasting a series of opportunities. Most notably, Marcus Thuram's close-range shot hit the post.
For Bodo/Glimt, this is a historic feat when they participated in the Champions League for the first time and immediately reached the round of 16. In the next round, Bodo/Glimt will wait for opponents from Manchester City or Sporting Lisbon.
