Bodo/Glimt vs Valerenga 0-1

Valerenga left Aspmyra Stadion with a 1-0 win after Lucas Janus Ravn-Haren scored in the 65th minute from Mathias Grundetjern’s assist. Bodo/Glimt could not find a reply and finished with nothing for their pressure.

The first half brought no goals, and the sides went in at 0-0. Bodo/Glimt had already made one change on 45 minutes, with Isak Dybvik Maatta replaced by Fredrik Bjorkan.

The only goal arrived shortly after the break, and Valerenga then protected it with a couple of changes of their own. Ghayas Zahid went off for Magnus Westergaard on 58 minutes, then Ravn-Haren’s opener was followed in the same 65th minute by one Bodo/Glimt change, when Ola Brynhildsen made way for Andreas Helmersen, and another, with Sondre Auklend replaced by Ulrik Saltnes. Bodo/Glimt made three further changes later, but they never found the equaliser, while Valerenga withdrew the scorer himself on 78 minutes and also took off Ole Christian Hammerfjell Saeter in the same window.
