The match turned almost immediately. NEC goalkeeper Gonzalo Cretazz was shown a red card after 2'38'', and the visitors reacted by withdrawing Kaj Sierhuis for Nikolas Polster at 4'24''. Noe Lebreton was then booked at 14'16'' as the Dutch side struggled to settle with a man down.
For long spells, Bodoe/Glimt had to stay patient, but the breakthrough finally came right on 45' when Fredrik Andre Bjorkan finished from Sondre Auklend's assist. Almost immediately, Auklend added the second after Jens Petter Hauge supplied the pass, giving the home side a 2-0 halftime lead and full control of the result.
NEC Nijmegen made further changes at the break and again on 62', but the contest was effectively over when Deveron Fonville turned the ball into his own net at 72'10''. Bodoe/Glimt then emptied the bench, while Brayann Pereira's 83' yellow card underlined a frustrating finish for the visitors.
