The Norwegians defeated favorites Lazio 2-0 in the evening and are now on course for the final, which will take place on May 21 in Bilbao, Spain.

In the morning, it initially didn't look as if the game would even take place. With temperatures hovering around freezing, a large amount of snow fell in the town of 50.000 residents. Former Eintracht striker Jan Age Fjörtoft shared a video of large masses of snow lying on the pitch. A few hours later, 32-year-old striker Ulrik Saltnes became the hero of the evening with two goals (47th and 69th minutes).

The return leg will take place next Thursday (April 17) in Rome. In a possible semifinal, Bodo/Glimt would face the winner of the match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham. The first leg would then take place in Frankfurt or London, with the return leg in the Norwegian province.
