After beating last years finalists 3-1 in Norway last week, Kjetil Knutsens men finished the job at the San Siro, firstly from a Jens-Petter Hauge goal before a wonderful Hakon Evjen strike sealed the tie, with Alessandro Bastonis goal not enough to stop one of the Champions Leagues biggest ever upsets.After beating Atletico Madrid, Manchester City and now Inter Milan in such convincing style over two legs, the small club from the Arctic Circle will be a side most in the last 16 will want to avoid.Table of Contents1 Inter Milan vs Bodo/Glimt as it happened2 Which teams have reached last 16 so far?Inter Milan vs Bodo/Glimt as it happenedInter began the night knowing they would have to take the game to their Norwegian counterparts and that was unsurprisingly how the game started, with the visitors sitting back and playing on the break just as they did to such good effect last week.Francisco Esposito headed straight at the keeper before Federico Dimarco forced a good stop with a swerving effort, with Marcus Thuram putting a first finish just wide of the post and then seeing a flying shot deflect over the top.Nikita Haikins busy night in the Bodo net showed no signs of getting any quieter as he pulled off a wonderful stop to deny Alessandro Bastonis header from a corner, using superb reflexes to claw the ball off the goal line from point-blank range.The hosts continued to pepper Bodos goal in search of an all-important goal before the break but the visitors managed to hold on until half-time, leaving them 45 minutes from an extraordinary upset.Overall, Inter had 12 shots in the first half, theyve never had more without scoring in the opening 45 minutes of a Champions League knockout match on record (since 2003-04).A handful of more shots came from the hosts early in the second half through Dimarco, Manuel Akanji and Thuram and but once again, they lacked the quality when it mattered and, while Bodo/Glimt appeared to be living more and more dangerously, you got more of a sense it may not be Inters night which each passing miss.And those fears were realised when an Akanji mistake under pressure from three opponents allowed Ole Didrik Blomberg to go through on goal, with his effort well saved by Yann Sommer but only into the path of Hauge, who tapped into an empty net to grab his second of the tie and put the Norwegians in dreamland. Inter were shellshocked but came back firing and somehow didnt pull one back when Akanji eager to make up for his error sidefooted Dimarcos cutback onto the post before it rebounded and Haikin got a hand to it to swat the ball away.A few minutes later, the tie was out of reach for last years finalists and it was another breathtaking goal on the counter from Bodo, with Evjen bringing Hauges through ball down before firing a sumptuous volley into the back of the net and the visitors were able to hold on for one of the biggest upsets in Champions League history.Staring down the barrel of an early exit, Bastoni pulled one back to just about keep them in the game in the final 10 minutes when his header after a scramble was adjudged to have crossed the line but Inter still needed three to stay in the tie.Which teams have reached last 16 so far?From the league phase:ArsenalBarcelonaBayern MnchenChelseaLiverpoolManchester CitySporting CPTottenhamFrom the play-offs:NewcastleAtletico MadridBayer LeverkusenBod/Glimt Topics: Bodo/Glimt Inter Milan Follow us: Cian Cheesbrough Cian is a sports journalist with experience writing for national titles, including LiveScore, MailOnline, Eurosport and Sky Sports.
