Kasper Høgh Scores in Champions League Match
Kasper Høgh scored the third goal for Bodø/Glimt in their 3-0 victory over Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 on March 12, 2026. This win marks a historic achievement for Bodø/Glimt, as they became the first Norwegian side to progress in the knockout stages of the prestigious tournament.
The match showcased a strong performance from Bodø/Glimt, with goals also coming from Sondre Fet and Ole Blomberg. Høgh’s contribution was critical in solidifying their lead and advancing in the competition.
Prior to this match, Høgh had already made headlines for his impressive form, having scored 17 league goals and provided 5 assists during the 2025 Eliteserien season. His performance has drawn attention from major clubs, including Celtic, who made an enquiry for him at the end of January 2026.
Frode Thomassen, Bodø/Glimt’s representative, praised Høgh’s abilities, stating, “Kasper was the top scorer in the Europa League when we made a semi-final last spring but he is a really good footballer and a really good striker.” This highlights Høgh’s growing reputation in European football.
While Bodø/Glimt has expressed that they do not need to sell any players, Thomassen mentioned, “We don’t have to sell anyone, but if the offer is good and the player would like to go, of course we will judge it and see.” This indicates that Høgh’s future may still be uncertain, depending on potential offers.
In the match against Sporting CP, Bodø/Glimt’s strong performance was a culmination of their hard work and strategy, further establishing their place in European football. The team is now looking forward to the next stages of the tournament with renewed confidence.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential transfer negotiations for Høgh, but his recent performances have certainly placed him in the spotlight as a player to watch.
