Bodo/Glimt's aspirations of further glory were dashed on Monday as they faced an unexpected exit from the Norwegian Cup. The reigning Norwegian champions were ousted by Aalesund, a team relegated to the second tier in 2023, in a shocking 1–0 defeat.

This abrupt downfall came soon after Bodo/Glimt's thrilling run in the Europa League, which saw them reach the semi-finals only to face elimination by Tottenham Hotspur. However, the Norwegian powerhouse couldn't replicate that magic just days later.

Aalesund, showing commendable form, secured their victory through a goal by Marius Andresen early in the second half, asserting dominance over their more illustrious opponents and earning a deserved spot in the next round.
