Match report
Bodo/Glimt cruise past ten-man NEC Nijmegen in Champions League play-off
Bodo/Glimt beat NEC Nijmegen 3-0 at Aspmyra Stadion in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, a result shaped almost entirely inside the opening three minutes when Gonzalo Crettaz was sent off for the visitors. The hosts made the numerical advantage tell before half-time and never looked troubled thereafter.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
With NEC down to ten men from so early on, Bodo/Glimt dominated the ball and carved out chance after chance. Fredrik Bjørkan opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time, finishing off a Sondre Auklend assist, and Auklend himself doubled the lead moments later, converting a Jens Hauge pass to make it 2-0 at the interval.
The second half followed a similar pattern of home pressure, and Bodo/Glimt added a third in the 73rd minute when Deveron Fonville turned the ball into his own net. NEC, already reduced in numbers and picking up two yellow cards along the way, offered little going forward and could not find a way back into the contest.
Odin Bjørtuft earned the highest rating on the night at 8.6 without registering a goal or assist, while Sondre Auklend contributed a goal and an assist in a productive attacking display.
Bodo/Glimt's dominance was reflected in their 79% share of possession against NEC's 21%.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Bodo/Glimt 68%, the draw 18%, NEC Nijmegen 14%. It finished Bodo/Glimt 3–0 NEC Nijmegen.
Bodo/Glimt's rating gap decides it — Bodo/Glimt are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Bodo/Glimt's 68%. The draw at 18% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Bodo/Glimt at 68%?
Bodo/Glimt sit 222 points higher on our strength rating — 1892 to 1670. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,952 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 68–16–16.
Why only 68%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 68% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 18% and NEC Nijmegen at 14%.
Why is the draw only 18%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,997. The goals environment takes 1.7 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
NEC Nijmegen average 18 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 222 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Bodo/Glimt have gained 157 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,225 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
