Nikita Haikin made the vital save as Bodo/Glimt pulled off a stunning penalty shootout win away to Lazio on Thursday to become the first Norwegian team to reach the semifinals of the Europa League, where they will face Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.

Lazio took the lead in the 21st minute through Taty Castellanos, but it took until second-half stoppage time for Tijani Noslin to squeeze in their second goal to make it 2-2 on aggregate and send the tie to extra time, with Boulaye Dia heading home to put his side 3-2 up on aggregate 10 minutes into the first period.

Stunningly, Bodo substitute Andreas Helmersen headed a goal of his own to make it 3-3 on the night in the 109th minute, but he was then sent off for a second yellow in the dying minutes as the tie headed to penalties after a nerve-jangling encounter.

Bodo/Glimt’s Patrick Berg could have won it with his fifth kick, but blasted the ball over the bar and Haikin became the hero when he saved Castellanos’s effort to make it 3-2 in the shootout and send his side into the last four.
