Tottenham Hotspur won the second-leg match to scale the European League final with a 5-1 aggregate triumph over Bodø/Glimt. Dominic Solanke and Pedro Porro goals were two in the second half secured the deal following a goalless run in the first half. Despite some animated plays, and some hostile stretches of the hosts that included a late penalty decision that was overturned via VAR, Spurs showed out to be too clinic, too composed to have his lead slip at any stretch, and comfortably saw through the tie in Norway.
Bodø/Glimt’s Missed Opportunities And Defensive Gaps
Bodø/Glimt have produced numerous good opportunities, with Hauge and Captain Berg mainly leading the way but couldn’t convert any of their opportunities into goals, and it was a great disappointment. Failure to capitalise on the moment of the first half and defensive errors in the two Tottenham areas-specially the low marking of exposed pieces. The penalty that might have provided late comfort was overthrown by VAR, summarizing frustration and lack of poise in both boxes during the night.
What Bodø/Glimt Could Have Done Differently
To deliver a different result, Bodø/Glimt required quicker shooting and better organized defensive setup. More successful pressing in a high position may have frustrated Tottenham’s build-up, while improved opposition coverage of free-kicks and corners should have stalled Solanke’s goal. Instituting a new set of legs earlier together with concentrating attacks towards ruling players such as Berg and Hauge could have conferred a distinct attacking advantage of a game where differences were narrow but expensive.
