First Half - Bodø’s Bite, Juve’s Frustration

In the freezing Arctic conditions, Bodø/Glimt were the sharper side through the opening exchanges, pressing Juve’s build and winning territory down the right. The breakthrough came on 27’ when Blomberg arrived to finish, and with the home crowd roaring behind them, the Super Team carried a deserved 1-0 lead into the break. Juventus had volume in moments but little incision, with Haikin handlinkg the best of the first-half traffic.

Second Half - Yildiz Effect, Momentum Swings, Late Drama

Spalletti turned Yildiz at the interval, and the game’s temperature changed. Within three minutes of the restart, Openda equalised in 48’, and just as the hour passed, McKennie rose to head the Zebras in front in 59’.

Bodø/Glimt refused to fold and drew a late penalty that Fet converted in the 87’ for 2-2. Yet Juventus still found one last surge: Yildiz’s drive and shot, Haikin parries, but in the shadows is the substitute David, who pounced on it, making the score 3-2 in the 90+1’ of the stoppage time, winning Juve a winner. This was a brutal night for both goalkeepers.
