With goals from Brennan Johnson, Maddison and Solanke, Tottenham Hotspur beat Bodø 3-1 in the first leg of the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League semi-final. Postecoglou said that as long as the team continues to show excellent organizational skills in the game, it will be difficult for opponents to beat them even on artificial turf.

Pedro Porro made a cross from the right at the beginning of the game, Richarlison headed the ball, Brennan Johnson headed the ball in, and Tottenham Hotspur got off to a dream start with a score of 1-0. In the 34th minute, Pedro Porro made a lob pass, Maddison volleyed the ball into the goal, and Tottenham Hotspur continued to lead Border Shining 2-0.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Romero was kicked by Border defender Sheward when he stopped the ball, and the referee awarded Tottenham Hotspur a penalty kick. Subsequently, Solanke took the penalty kick and scored, helping Tottenham Hotspur to expand their lead to 3-0.

In the 83rd minute, Sarnister received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area and shot over the defense to score, helping Bodø to equalize the score to 1-3.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur beat Border Cross 3-1 at home, laying the foundation for advancing to the final.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Postecoglou said in an interview after the game, "Our fans are really great. From the moment we walked out of the player tunnel, they passed the energy to the team. We scored a goal very early because the whole stadium was full of energy as soon as the players entered the field. This is the credit of the fans."

"Even though we've had a lot of difficulties this season, playing in Europe this year was very special and the fans played a huge role in our performance when we needed it."

"The opponent scored a goal in the final stages of the game, but this cannot overshadow the dominance we showed in the game. If we can repeat this performance next week, it will be enough for us to advance," said Postecoglu.

"I think it puts us in a good position, I thought the boys played really well, we were well organised throughout the game, defended well and were clinical in attack and created a lot of chances for ourselves."

In addition, Tottenham Hotspur will play against West Ham in the new round of the Premier League, and will travel to play against Bodø again in the second leg of the UEFA semi-final next week, and Postecoglou's team will play on artificial turf at that time.

Postecoglu said, "This is a football game. I have been there and played there. If we are as well organized as we were today, the field conditions will not matter at all and we will be a difficult team to beat."
