In the third round of the UEFA Champions League main stage, Napoli secured a dramatic 4-3 home victory against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt. The team managed by Massimiliano Allegri emerged victorious after an intense back-and-forth encounter.
The hosts got off to a perfect start with Matteo Politano finding the net within the first minute. Despite the early setback, the visitors responded through Jens Petter Hauge midway through the first half. The sides traded goals before the break, with Scott McTominay putting the Italians ahead once more.
After the interval, Bodo/Glimt managed to equalize for the second time through Helmersen. However, in the final quarter of the match, Napoli regained control. McTominay scored his second of the night, followed by an own goal from Bjortuft. A late effort by Fett in stoppage time was not enough to salvage a point for the Norwegian side.
