Earthquake in Europa League

Bodo/Glimt is the biggest surprise of this year's tournament.

Bodo/Glimt are the most underrated team in the Europa League quarter-finals this season. According to statistics site Transfermarkt , the total value of the Norwegian club's squad is only 43.15 million euros.

On the other hand, Lazio is the team with the best performance in the League Phase, and also owns a squad with a total valuation of up to 300 million euros. However, the difference in squad strength did not help the Serie A representative win a ticket to the semi-finals.

After a 0-2 loss in the first leg away, Lazio played well at home and scored 2 goals against Bodo/Glimt, by Taty Castellanos (21') and Tijjani Noslin (90+3'). After the official match time, the total score was 2-2, dragging the two teams into extra time.

In the 100th minute of extra time, Boulaye Dia shone to help Lazio raise the score to 3-0. Thinking that the ticket to the next round was in their hands, the home team at Olimpico Stadium let Bodo/Glimt score in the 109th minute. The two regular and extra periods ended with a score of 3-1. At this time, the total score after two matches was 3-3.

Lazio were dragged into a penalty shootout, where they had 3 players miss. On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt only failed to score 2 times.

In the end, the tiny team from Norway won 3-2, thereby earning a ticket to the semi-finals to meet Tottenham. Meanwhile, Lazio missed out on the European Cup semi-final ticket they had been waiting for for more than 2 decades.
