The guests dominated from the beginning of the match and, apart from small fragments, dictated the pace of the game, controlling the match. The Białystok team gave way to an opponent experienced in European cups.
Bodoe/Glimt hid the ball from Jagiellonia
The Bodoe/Glimt players kept the ball and, if they didn’t have it, they tried to get it right in Jagiellonia’s penalty area.
In the second minute, they created a threat in front of the hosts’ goal when Nene made a mistake with his pass, but Hakon Evjen’s shot was blocked by Białystok’s defenders and sent out for a corner.
In this part, the guests took part in most of the action on the left side, ending up passing the ball to the center, where Patrick Berg tried to shoot from distance. However, the shots were blocked or missed.
After 30 minutes of play, the visitors had a huge advantage in possession. During this time, Jagiellonia recorded a missed shot by Kristoffer Hansen.
At the end of the first half, Jagiellonia advanced
In the last quarter of the first half of the game, the Białystok team played more boldly, reminding fans that they usually prefer an attacking game.
At 32 minutes, they created the most dangerous move of the match, which was finished by Nenê with a low shot. However, Bodoe/Glimt’s Russian goalkeeper Nikita Hajkin was not surprised.
Just before half-time, Hansen had another shot, this time on goal, but it was very weak, and Hajkin also got his shot off.
Dieguez scored an own goal
In the second half, the scenario of the match did not change. The guests kept possession of the ball and Jagiellonia struggled to create goal-scoring opportunities.
A goal was scored for Bodoe/Glimt in the 58th minute; Jens Petter Hauge finished off a quick attack down the left flank with a low cross, Adrian Dieguez tried to block but Jagiellonia’s Spanish keeper unfortunately directed the ball into his own net.
VAR saved Jagiellonia from missing second goal
In the 65th minute, the Norwegian team’s second goal was scored, but after analysis by the VAR the referee disallowed it, concluding that Michal Sacek was fouled in his penalty area during this action. In the 79th minute, the visitors’ long action ended with a shot from Sondre Soerli, saved by Sławomir Abramowicz. In response, Lamine Diaby-Fadiga headed the ball but missed the target.
In added time, Dominik Marczuk’s cross finally found Jesus Imaz. The Spaniard, barely visible in this match, shot from the penalty area but hit the defender. In the next action, on the other side of the field, Jagiellonia’s defenders finally stopped the opponent’s counterattack.
