Brave Bodo/Glimt snatch 2-2 draw with Slavia Prague in Champions League debut
PRAGUE: Norway’s Bodo/Glimt pulled off a sensational comeback to draw 2-2 away to Slavia Prague in their first ever Champions League group game on Wednesday, with substitute Sondre Brunstad Fet netting the 90th-minute equalizer. Having built a reputation in Europe for devil-may-care football no matter who they face, the club from inside the Arctic Circle did not disappoint, putting in a battling performance that could easily have finished 5-5. The Norwegians, who made a remarkable run to the semifinals of last season’s Europa League where they lost to English side Tottenham Hotspur, started well but were punished in the 23rd minute when fullback Youssoupha Mbodji ghosted in at the back post to tap home Lukas Provod’s pass. The step up in class to the Champions League proved tough for Kjetil Knutsen’s side.

Lyles claimed bronze in Sunday’s 100m in Tokyo and immediately turning his attention to the 200m, which he called his “bread and butter.” The American, who tops the 2025 world list with the 19.63sec he set at the US trials, won his heat in 19.99sec to lead a clutch of favorites through to Thursday’s semifinals, with the final scheduled for Friday. “The body is feeling good and definitely waking up,” said Lyles. “The goal here was to blast through the first 100m and I got that done. Zharnel (Hughes) was showing he was ready to run, too. “I knew I had the race under control and decided not to push too much because I still have two more runs. When I get to the final I don’t know. I guess we will have to see.” Australia’s 17-year-old sensation Gout Gout also went through, clocking 20.23sec in his senior international debut to finish third in his heat won by Jamaican Bryan Levell in an impressive 19.84sec.
