Bodo/Glimt and Lille finished 0-0 in Norway, a result shaped more by what was missing than what was created. The first half brought just three shots, only one on target, and all of them came from Lille. Bodo/Glimt's six-game home winning run in European competition is over, and Lille still have only one point from four league-phase matches.
Bodo/Glimt's home run ends
The draw closed out a run that had carried Bodo/Glimt past Manchester City, Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund at home in Europe. Their league-phase return is now 4 points from 4 matches, which leaves them 23rd in the table rather than in any comfortable position.
That is still a better place than Lille, who remain on 1 point and 34th after four games. Their evening in Norway offered little sign of a side ready to change that quickly, even if the point stops the bleeding after three straight Champions League defeats before this trip.
A night short on chances
The match never really opened up. Bodo/Glimt vs Lille produced the kind of first half that can flatten a European tie fast, with Lille the only side to register a shot on target before the break.
Bodo/Glimt did not need much from Bodo/Glimt vs Lille to keep their defensive shape, but the bigger point is how little attacking rhythm either team found. Lille's front line never turned possession into pressure, and Bodo/Glimt were held at arm's length for long stretches.
Bodo/Glimt host LASK on 24 November at 17:45 GMT, while Lille face Bayern Munich on 25 November at 20:00 GMT.
