Kasper Hogh, who had not scored in the Champions League, scored both goals for the partial 2-0 victory on matchday seven of the league phase of the tournament.
It is the number 9 who makes the difference.
Bodø/Glimt is looking for its first victory in the elite phase of the Champions League.
Where is the defense, Pep?
Still without Guéhi and suffering absences in defense, Guardiola had the youngsters Alleyne and Khusanov in the sector.
They didn’t understand each other. And the local team took advantage.
Hogh opened the scoring in the 22nd minute after receiving a completely unmarked cross.

They extended the lead two minutes later after Alleyne fumbled the ball.
Hogh still had a great chance for a third but missed after some good play from Hauge.
City had the most possession of the ball that was expected. But it was not productive.
Haaland’s big chance came in the 45th minute, but the shot grazed the right post.
City remains with 13 points. They are currently in fourth place.
Meanwhile, Bodø/Glimt are reaching six points and fueling the possibility of reaching the round of 16 playoffs.
