Man City lose 3-1 at Bodo/Glimt as Rodri is sent off and Haaland struggles

Goal reported Manchester City were beaten 3-1 by Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League at Aspmyra Stadion, with Rodri sent off in the second half.

Kasper Hogh scored twice in quick succession midway through the first half and Jens Petter Hauge added a long-range strike after the break to make it 3-0 before Rayan Cherki pulled one back for City. The report says City were exposed by a high defensive line and an inexperienced back four — Max Alleyne was at fault for the first two goals, Gianluigi Donnarumma struggled at times, and Erling Haaland missed several clear chances.

Rodri's red card means he will be suspended for the final group game against Galatasaray next week, a fixture now described as a must-win if City are to qualify automatically for the last 16; the side risk dropping out of the top eight and potentially facing a play-off to confirm a place in the competition's latter stages.
