Bodo/Glimt came from behind to earn a historic victory against Atletico Madrid and qualify for the Champions League knockout round play-offs.

The Norwegian champions – who beat Manchester City 3-1 eight days ago – finished the league phase in 23rd place and will participate in a two-legged tie for a place in the last 16 next month, alongside Atletico – who finished nine places higher after eight games.

The La Liga side appeared on course for a top-eight finish when Alexander Sorloth climbed highest to head David Hancko’s cross past Nikita Haikin in the 15th minute.

However, Bodo/Glimt – the first Norwegian side to progress from the league or group phase in Champions League since Rosenborg in 1996-97- levelled 19 minutes later when defender Fredrik Sjovold scored from close range after a neat cutback from Fredrik Andre Bjorkan.

The decisive strike came in the 59th minute when forward Kasper Waarts Hogh pounced on a goalmouth scramble to poke past Jan Oblak and seal a first away win in the competition for his side.

Bodo/Glimt will face either Real Madrid or Inter Milan, while Atletico will be paired against either Club Brugge or Galatasaray.
