After the match
Following this victory, Bodø/Glimt qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 for the first time in the team's history. Additionally, they became the first Norwegian team to win a European Cup/UEFA Champions League knockout tie since Lillestrøm beat Linfield to advance to the second round of the 1987–88 European Cup.[1] Additionally, Jens Petter Hauge scored his fifth and sixth goals in the Champions League that season, making him the highest-scoring Norwegian player at a Norwegian team in a single UEFA Champions League season.[1]
In the Round of 16, Bodø/Glimt were drawn against Portuguese champions Sporting CP.[7] They won the first leg in Bodø 3–0, thanks to goals from Sondre Brunstad Fet, Ole Didrik Blomberg, and Kasper Høgh.[8] The second leg is scheduled for 17 March at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.[9]
