Union Saint-Gilloise and Bodø/Glimt played out a 3:3 draw in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round on 4 August 2026. The result leaves both sides with one point apiece after their opening fixture. Bodø/Glimt sit 36th in the table, having suffered their first defeat, while Union continue a run that includes a 1:1 draw with Club Brugge and a 2:1 win over Lille.
The opening goal came in the 20th minute when P. Berg found the net for the visitors. Union responded quickly, with R. Florucz equalising in the 25th. Then came the penalty in the 29th minute, which O. Blomberg converted to put Bodø/Glimt ahead again. Florucz restored parity just before half-time, scoring in the 45th plus four. By then the yellow cards were already mounting up — five for the hosts, two for the visitors.
Second-half substitutions began in the 46th minute with S. Auklend coming on for Bodø/Glimt. The match opened up further with changes from both sides, including D. Olaru and M. Fuseini for Union. P. David put the hosts back in front in the 88th minute, but O. L. Bjortuft struck back almost immediately, scoring in the 90th plus one minute. The late goal meant the draw was secured.
Union Saint-Gilloise held 47 per cent possession and recorded four shots on target from five attempts. Bodø/Glimt had slightly more control with 53 per cent possession and three shots on target from five attempts. The hosts managed five corners while the visitors registered none. Shots accuracy favoured the visitors at 60 per cent compared to Union's 44 per cent.
The result keeps both teams in the hunt for progression, though neither side has yet secured a win. Union's recent form suggests they can compete at this level, having beaten Lille and Patro Eisden in their last five matches. Bodø/Glimt's perfect run of five wins before this match has ended, but they remain competitive in European competition.
