Bodø/Glimt 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
Bodø/Glimt added Borussia Dortmund to their list of big-name victims at Aspmyra, the smallest ground in the competition, with a deserved win.
The Norwegians were the better side in the first half and went ahead seven minutes after the break, when Fredrik Sjøvold turned in Sondre Auklend’s low cross at the near post.
Dortmund improved after four changes on the hour, and substitute Felix Nmecha forced a fingertip save from Nikita Haikin, but it was their first defeat since the German Super Cup. “We deserved to lose,” admitted coach Niko Kovac.
