Ghanaian forward Gilbert Koomson in action as Bodo/Glimt thrash Mourinho’s AS Roma in UEFA Conference League

Published on: 22 October 2021

Ghanaian forward Gilbert Koomson was in action for Bodo/Glimt in their 6-1 win over AS Roma in UEFA Conference League on Thursday night.

Koomson climbed off the bench in the 88th to help his side hand, Jose Mourinho, one of the heaviest defeats of his managerial career.

Roma trailed just 2-1 at the break after the Norwegian champions struck through Erik Botheim and Patrick Berg's curler, while Carles Perez replied with a clinical effort.

Mourinho made three changes at the start of the second half and another two on the hour mark after Bodo/Glimt added a third with Botheim tapping in from close range.

But there was more misery for Mourinho and Roma as Ola Solbakken's fine solo goal made it 4-1 before Amahl Pellegrino added a fifth and Solbakken claimed his second.

It is the first time a Mourinho side has conceded six or more goals in a single game in what was the 1,008th match of his coaching career.

Bodo/Glimt have currently top in Group C with seven points, one point above AS Roma.

The Ghanaian has made two appearances in the UEFA Conference League so far this season.
