Scott McTominay leads Napoli to dramatic 4-3 win over Bodo/Glimt
Scott McTominay netted a brace in his return to form following heart surgery, securing a vital Champions League victory for Napoli.
Napoli secured their first points of the UEFA Champions League season in a high-scoring 4-3 thriller against Bodo/Glimt at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The victory provided a significant boost for the Italian side, who had struggled for form in recent outings.
Matteo Politano opened the scoring just 54 seconds into the contest, but the visitors remained resilient throughout the evening. Bodo/Glimt found equalizers through Jens Petter Hauge and Andreas Helmersen, keeping the pressure on the hosts in a back-and-forth battle.
A Triumphant Return for the Midfielder
Scott McTominay proved to be the decisive figure, scoring twice to regain the lead for Napoli. His performance was particularly notable as it marked his first goals since recovering from heart surgery. An own goal by Odin Bjørtuft further extended the lead before Sondre Brunstad Fet added a late consolation for the visitors.
The win serves as a turning point for Napoli, who relied on the creative influence of Kevin De Bruyne and the clinical finishing of McTominay to overcome a difficult start to their European campaign.
