Napoli claimed their first victory of the 2026–27 Champions League campaign with a dramatic 4–3 win over Bodø/Glimt at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Tuesday, October 20th.

The hosts made a flying start when Matteo Politano opened the scoring in the first minute with a superb finish. Bodø/Glimt responded through Jens Petter Hauge in the 27th minute, but McTominay restored Napoli’s lead shortly before half-time, making it 2–1 in the 41st minute.

Bodø/Glimt levelled again after the break, with Anders Helmersen finding the net in the 63rd minute. Napoli needed another response, and McTominay delivered in the 75th minute, rising to head home Politano’s cross and complete his brace. The midfielder’s second goal proved crucial in a match that remained tense until the final whistle.

Napoli appeared to secure the result when an own goal by Odin Bjørtuft made it 4–2 in the 89th minute. However, Sondre Fet scored in stoppage time to give Bodø/Glimt renewed hope. Napoli held on through the closing moments to record a valuable European victory and give their Champions League campaign fresh momentum.
