For Crvena Zvezda, things could have ended much worse than they actually did, at least based on what was seen in the first half. However, the Serbian champions will have to perform exceptionally in Belgrade if they want to secure a spot in this season’s elite Champions League.
Bodo/Glimt, which includes Slovenian national team player Nino Žugelj who has been out of the squad for some time due to a muscle injury, started the match with determination, especially with the intention of gaining an advantage before the return match. However, despite many pressures in the first half, the Norwegians did not succeed.
But the hosts finally struck early in the second half, scoring twice within 10 minutes, which awakened the visitors. After the second goal, they began to attack and were rewarded in the 75th minute when Ognjen Mimović reduced the deficit. Although the home team handed over control to Zvezda and waited for counterattacks, there was no further change in the score.
