Amahl Pellegrino struck first for Bodø / Glimt in the 76th minute on a feed from Ola Solbakken, then Brice Wembangomo added another in the 89th minute on a feed from Marius Hoibraten In the end, Aalesund was frustrated by Bodø / Glimt’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bodø / Glimt ended the match with the shutout victory. Bodø / Glimt should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
