UEFA Conference League

Roma close to scoring now with a good shot. They have a corner (amounted to nothing). They are getting closer now though. Looking a bit grim, but all Glimt needs is for Roma to sleep a bit in midfield for them to launch one of their fast counters.

Mourinho visibly frustrated. Good sign.

33 min. Bodø/Glimt is not being outplayed here. Roma more dangerous than in the beginning, but Glimt is not toothless and very cohesive and compact at the back, soaking up a lot of Italian pressure.

38min PHEW ! Glimt had a massive space and counter going on, but a terrible pass set up Roma for a lethal counter. Some asbolutely phenomenal defensive blocks prevented a Roma goal. That was close.

Free kick to Glimt. Bah, wasted.

sooo why is there separate threads for Europa and Conference league? duplication?

Because we are damn fucking specific on this forum :rofl:

42 min, amazing keeper work from Glimt, Roma player alone on goal and he made himself big as a giant. Glimt lacks a bit pass precision, sometimes losing the ball going forward, leading to Roma attacks.

Good goal opportunity for Glimt there, but shot was sadly blocked. Solbakken played truly well

0-1 SOLBAKKEN !!! 45 min, CHAMPAIGNE GOAL !!!

Half Time: Roma 0, Bodø/Glimt 1.
Mourinho went to the dressing room before the ref blew the whistle !!! :rofl:

Edit: Someone big and rich are going to buy Solbakken for relatively cheap now very soon…

So instead of the kiss of death it’s now the goal of death, or maybe Son of death.

Son Tzu.

Kjetil Knutsen: “Some good play from us but not optimal and we can do better. We have to adjust the pressure a bit” (the rest I don’t remember)- I am watching Norwegian tv and it moved a bit fast in the studio.

Glimt attacking now. Throw in down at Roma’s end. Glimt playing with very high confidence, trying again and again, not caring if the first advance is lost due to a sub par pass.Glimt have so far, started the second half the best.

That’s unfortunately a very good Roma goal. Very nice to watch. 1-1. Keeper not a chance, but defender could have done better (then again, they are playing against a striker of quality they are not used to play against).

Roma fans got fired up now, suddenly very loud. Roma still allowing Glimt to play ball. Lost it, Roma now playing ball. Glimt still looking compact and cohesive. Let us see if Roma get another fast goal. So far looks much like the first half but Roma perhaps more careful now. They seem to be lower in the pitch, Roma. This I think, is a compliment to the underdog Glimt.
Glimt lost the ball, fought it back, Roma fans shouting the Italian version of no loudly when that happened. So far so good. Even if Glimt loses this game, they will have the respect of many.
59 min. Glimt is attacking and attacking, but often losing the ball. They fight like devils to win it back though. Got it now. again trying to attack. This can lead to Roma counters obviously.

61 min, Roma hacks down Solbakken, Glimt’ amazing attacker. Typical. But he is not injured. Everybody knows why he was targeted though. Free kick amounts to nothing, ball is mostly around the midfield, both teams fighting for it. 62 : 39 min, Glimt throw in down at Roma’s end. Nothing. Roma free kick. Nothing. Glimt keeping the ball now. New Glimt attack, throw in down at Roma’s end. ROma player holding a Glimt player but no free kick. Counter for Glimt now.

AMAZING ATTACK, Excellent pass, BOTHEIM HEADS IN 1-2 !!!

Roma fans booing after the goal…

Not sure what is happening, checks and notices that I still am alive

Heroic blocks from headers in Glimt defence. Would have been a Roma goal most likely. Glimt now attacking again, 69 min have been played.

Roma have now started to shoot from longer distance, frustration and shame creeping in. 70 min. Roma corner. Their fifth. Corner successfully defended. New corner. Defended.
Lol, 72 min, Glimt still trying to win the ball and go forward fast. ROma fans now want a hands and penalty. Wasn’t a pen, but was a hands, good by ref. Glimt now attacking, should have had a free kick, didn’t get it. But nice Glimt counter.
New corner for Roma. They are desperately attacking Glimt’s heroic defence. New corner.

My God, from the corner, Roma headed into the bar. Close to an equaliser, but still 1-2 ! 75 min.
Glimt looks more stretched, tiring perhaps. This is a very fast moving game, way, way faster than the speed Norwegian football is usually played at.

Glimt still launching attempts at counter attacks all the time, but tired now, so return runs less cohesive than previously, leading to dangerous space for Roma at times. 76: 55 min

Glimt launched a glittering counter there, got hacked down, ref sadly stopped the play instead of giving an advantage to give a Roma player a yellow. 77:55
79 min, Mourinho makes another sub. He looks angry. Mayoral in for someone…
80 min. Solbakken got a yellow after he should have had a totally crystal clear free kick, frustrated, complains, gets a yellow.
80:52 big chance for Roma, ball played in front of keeper froma good angle, but gets blocked before a Roma player can get a toe on it. Glimt tired now, far less cohesive than previously, but does their best. But this is very physical and played at great speed.
Excellent Roma attack ends up with a really good shot, which again ends up in a really good save from Glimt’s keeper.
But attack after attack leads to a goal, Roma just scored, ball barely in, but it’
s enough. 2-2.
Yellow card to Mourinho’s assistant.
