Bodø/Glimt and Union Saint-Gilloise played to a 3-3 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League third-round qualifying tie. Following the draw, Union Saint-Gilloise traveled to Norway for the second leg, where Bodø/Glimt secured a 3-2 extra-time victory, resulting in a 6-5 aggregate score. The second leg was decided in the 117th minute when Andreas Helmersen scored an unusual goal after the ball deflected off his face. Earlier in the match, Ole Didrik Blomberg and Jens Petter Hauge scored for Glimt. The fixture was marked by significant officiating controversy and tension. Union Saint-Gilloise was forced to play extra time with ten men after Kamiel Van de Perre received a red card in the final moments of regulation. Following the final whistle, the atmosphere became chaotic in the player tunnel. Reports indicate that Union players, coach David Hubert, and chairman Alex Muzio confronted referee István Kovács, leading to additional red cards for Adem Zorgane and Raul Florucz. New reports further indicate that a club employee was also struck during the post-match chaos. As a result of the tie, Union Saint-Gilloise has been relegated to the Europa League. Bodø/Glimt advances to the Champions League playoffs, where they will face either NEC Nijmegen or Olympiakos to secure a place in the group stages. Ahead of the decisive match, Bodø/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen had criticized the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) regarding scheduling.
