The Norwegian underdogs followed up back-to-back wins against Manchester City and Atletico Madrid and will bring a two-goal advantage into next week’s second leg in Milan.

Bodo/Glimt is fast becoming the unlikely story of this season’s Champions League, producing one upset after another.

After booking its place in the playoffs with wins against City and Atletico, it strengthened its chances of advancing to the round of 16 with victory against Italian league leader Inter.

Sondre Fet put the home team ahead after collecting Kasper Høgh’s backheel in the 20th minute.

Francesco Pio Esposito equalised before the break, but Bodo/Glimt took control in the second half.

Høgh produced a second assist to set up Jens Petter Hauge in the 61st and then got a goal himself three minutes later.

“I feel amazing, just thankful to play with this team. I’m happy that I could help the team by making assists and scoring a goal. I play in a good team, so that’s nice,” Høgh said.

Inter was a beaten finalist in two of the last three seasons, but now faces a major test to advance to the next round.

“A bad result for us and a bad night for us, but we need to stay calm and believe that we can win at home,” Inter midfielder Petar Sucic said.
