For the second time this week, Glimt was left at half-time away from home. On Saturday, however, the league leader was unable to turn the game around in the second half.
Vålerenga shocked the reigning league champions, beating the yellows 3–1 at Valle.
Thus, Viking has an all-time opportunity to top the table three games before the end of the season. Siddisene are two points behind Bodø/Glimt, with one game less played.
Captain Henrik Bjørdal knocked the home team into the lead, before Petter Strand countered to make it 2-0 just before the break.
Just after the break, Mathias Grundetjern headed in 3-0 before Bodø/Glimt substitute Sondre Auklend snuck in a reduction for the away team.
But that only brought hope for Bodø/Glimt, who failed to outwit Oscar Hedvall in the Vålerenga cage several times.
– A powerful scalp this, commented TV 2 commentator Øyvind Alsaker as the home win approached.
The loss in the capital is the first series loss for Glimt since the home loss against Sarpsborg 08 in June.
