FK Bodø/Glimt achieved a historic 2-0 victory over Lazio in the first leg of the 2025 UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, played on the icy synthetic pitch in Bodø, Norway.
Ulrik Saltnes was the star of the night, scoring both goals and putting the Norwegian club within touching distance of a historic semi-final appearance in European competition.
Lazio, coached by Marco Baroni, struggled to adapt to the harsh conditions, with freezing temperatures and a difficult synthetic surface. The Italian side managed just one shot on target throughout the match, revealing clear issues in their attacking setup.
Despite the setback, Baroni remains confident that Lazio can turn things around in the second leg, which will be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
With this result, Bodø/Glimt continues to write a memorable chapter in its history and dreams of going even further in the 2025 UEFA Europa League.
