00:00Tottenham Hotspur's biggest match of a faltering season.
00:03Bodo glimpse game of their lives.
00:05For Spurs, it's a great opportunity to reach a European final.
00:09From the quarter-final, second leg win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
00:12Lukas Bergwahl injured his ankle in training, so misses out.
00:16And two of them, Patrick Berg and Hakonevjen, are key elements of their midfield.
00:21Sondre Brunstad...
00:22In white, Tottenham the host side and the favourites, of course,
00:25but this will not be an easy tie, that's for sure.
00:28And away we go, Bodo glint all in yellow, get us underway in North London.
00:37All headed away by Nielsen, first touch for him.
00:40Big night coming in for Odin Björtuft in the heart of the Bodo glint defence.
00:46Here's Richarlison.
00:49Starting on the left-hand side for Spurs this evening.
00:52It's a decent-looking ball as well.
00:54Brennan Johnson trying to get on the end of it.
00:56And then scampering away towards the far side, beaten to the ball, was Blomberg.
01:02Fast and feisty start from Tottenham, it's a brilliant one!
01:06Brennan Johnson gives them a lead with 40 seconds on the watch.
01:11What a start for Spurs!
01:13Played a major part of the goal, then Richarlison, an initial cross to Johnson.
01:30And won that first challenge.
01:31More Tottenham pressure and another opportunity.
01:36It was going to be something special had Maddison, but on the end of that and kind of back of the net.
01:42Passive with the way they're going about their business, Tottenham.
01:44They'll be, they've got their goal up, so of course the goal won't be able to be disappointed,
01:48but it's a little bit more rhythm on his side.
01:51Bit of space here now for Richarlison.
01:52Opportunity to run at the defence, but no real power or difficulty for Nikita Huykin to deal with it.
02:00Never shifted onto his right foot, looking for that curler.
02:04The ball just rolling off his toe at the vital moment, enabling Tottenham to retrieve possession
02:10and venture forward here with Pedro Porro.
02:14That's Solanke chasing on.
02:15It's collected here and into the back of the net.
02:19Off the boots of James Maddison.
02:232-0 Tottenham with just over half an hour played.
02:262-0 Tottenham with just over half an hour played.
02:56Lovely hit, I thought that ball had actually gone out of play.
03:00That's great technique, isn't it, from Ben to court.
03:02Just cuts across the ball, always swerving towards the keeper.
03:06A few plays in front of him.
03:08Probably sees that quite late, that's a good save.
03:10Very good stop.
03:23Matar.
03:24A bit of yellow shirts venturing forward here.
03:30And it goes, just over the top of the crossbar.
03:34That was her, and it was very nearly.
03:36Certainly, Pedro glimpse, get played into the box and then just wait for that delivery.
03:40Good delivery.
03:42Something surely great for them.
03:45That'll do it for the first half.
03:47Very satisfactory indeed for Ajpostikoglu.
03:49So Tottenham with a 2-0 lead, get us underway at the start of the second half.
03:56They're in the last four of this particular competition for the first time since they won it.
04:00Header away by Gundersen.
04:07He's shot taking a deflection.
04:09Straight into the gloves, Ajpik.
04:10Back to the signal.
04:14James Madison with the delivery.
04:17That was Breda Moe with the header away.
04:19Tottenham will ask for that to be looked at again as Bentancourt sends it over.
04:25Brennan Johnson wasn't far away.
04:27Brunstadt-Fett makes the block and it deflects off the referee.
04:30Romero is still down.
04:36He's claiming a penalty.
04:37He's up to him and decide whether to award or to advise the referee to award a penalty kick.
04:46Yes, Sorval just got there fractionally late and he certainly does catch Romero.
04:51If they are official, he's probably pretty sure himself.
04:54He just wants confirmation from the referee and let him make the final decision.
04:58I think we know what's going to happen here, don't we?
05:00You can see clearly that it's the back of Romero's leg that is kicked rather than the ball.
05:13Of course, it makes no difference that he's not going towards goal.
05:15It's an easy decision.
05:20It's a penalty to Tottenham Hotspur.
05:24His fourth European goal of the season.
05:28I'm not sure why the Tottenham fan is so nervous.
05:32He's turned his back to the goal.
05:33They're 2-0 up already.
05:34It was his goal that put them through in Germany in the quarterfinal.
05:38And it's his penalty that gives them a 3-0 lead in the semifinal first leg.
05:44Tottenham looking good for a trip to Bilbao for the Europa League final already.
05:57An hour into this semifinal.
06:04Midway through the second half.
06:07And the header just widened the goal.
06:09It was Cristian Romero.
06:13Van de Venner way to the far side.
06:16Here's...
06:16Odover once more.
06:20Very nicely done.
06:22Alarm bells ringing left, right and centre there for Bodeglip.
06:31Porro's delivery.
06:32And the deflection carrying it wide.
06:36Well, that was a fortuitous bounce, Matisse Tell.
06:41I'm struggling to find the opening goal perhaps in the first 20 or 24 minutes.
06:45Anxiety creeps into their play and of course the same.
06:48Algar into the box.
06:49Saltness looks for the chance.
06:51And Saltness finds the back of the net.
06:53Two goals against Lazio in the first leg of the quarterfinal.
07:00And just maybe, maybe, a lifeline in this semifinal against Tottenham.
07:07The captain scores for Bodeglip.
07:13But what a huge goal.
07:16Been around long enough, Ange Postoglu, to know that.
07:18There's still work to be done.
07:20Advantage Tottenham Hotspur.
07:23But work to be done in the second leg.
07:25Glimmer of hope for Bodeglip.
