Bodo/Glimt Use 1000 IQ Tactic to Catch Champions League Opponents Out

Sondre Brunstad Fet scored a dramatic equaliser for Bodo/Glimt in their Champions League group stage clash against Slavia Prague after Andreas Helmersen used a clever tactic in stoppage time.

Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt earned their first-ever Champions League point on Wednesday as they fought back from 2-0 down at the Fortuna Arena, Prague.

Slavia Prague defender Youssoupha Mbodji marked his first competitive start with an unlikely brace for Jindrich Trpisovsky's side, who recorded 26 shots throughout the league phase clash.

But after Daniel Bassi managed to claw one back for the Champions League debutants, Sondre Brunstad Fet netted a screamer in the final minutes to hand Bodo/Glimt a hard-earned point.

Brunstad Fet smashed a perfectly hit first-time volley in off the underside of the crossbar to claim the point, but many are crediting Andreas Helmersen for his contribution.

As seen in the footage below, Helmersen re-entered the pitch whilst Bodo/Glimt were on the counter attack, emerging at the perfect time to catch out Slavia Prague's defensive line.

The 27-year-old failed to find the back of the net after a great save from Nikita Kaikin, but Brunstad Fet was on hand to equalise.

One fan commented on Helmersen's quick thinking, saying: "Hey that's pretty smart," while another said: "Great run from the lad. Fair play."

Speaking to reporters after scoring the equaliser, an emotional Brunstad Fet opened up on his effort.

"It's a boyhood dream come true, and to get a goal is absolutely crazy," he told reporters. "It was a great strike, and it's certainly the goal I've been happiest and most emotional about scoring."

Slavia Prague had numerous opportunities to put the game to bed – something Bodo/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen mentioned in his post-match interview.

"When we're two goals down and waste a penalty kick, we're living dangerously," he said.

"I think we show incredible morale, and that's something you need to have at this level," he added. "Towards the end of the match, we were incredibly lucky because we lost it (control of the game) completely."
