Tottenham fans experienced an emotional night as their team raced to a 3-0 lead against Bod/Glimt, with early goals from Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke. However, a late goal from Bod captain Ulrik Saltnes changed the match dynamic, cutting Tottenham's lead to 3-1. Despite their struggles in the Premier League, Spurs have a two-goal cushion heading into the second leg. Coach Ange Postecoglou emphasized the importance of a solid lead, particularly against a strong Bod team missing key players due to suspensions and injuries.
With eight minutes to play, this looked like being the night that the Tottenham fans had dreamed about.
Brennan Johnson's opener after just 38 seconds had set the tone against the plucky Norwegian champions.
A late strike from captain Ulrik Saltnes that deflected off the unfortunate Micky van de Ven changed the complexion of this tie.
Ange Postecoglou stressed beforehand the importance of establishing a lead ahead of their mission to town almost 1,0000km north of Oslo.
