Napoli emerged 4-3 winners in a pulsating encounter, but the scoreline belied Bodo/Glimt's superior performance. The Norwegian side outperformed their hosts in almost every attacking metric, registering 2.69 xG to Napoli's 1.57, with more shots on target (6 vs 8) and corners (5 vs 2) despite enjoying 57% possession. Bodo/Glimt's Sondre Fet was instrumental, assisting Jens Petter Hauge's 27th-minute equaliser and Andreas Helmersen's 62nd-minute leveller before scoring a late consolation himself.

Napoli's victory hinged on Scott McTominay's brace, with his second goal in the 75th minute proving decisive. Matteo Politano also contributed a goal and an assist, while Odin Luras Bjortuft's late own goal sealed Napoli's win. Despite their defensive frailties, Napoli were clinical when it mattered, converting four of their eight shots on target compared to Bodo/Glimt's three from six. The decisive stat was Bodo/Glimt's failure to convert their xG advantage into a deserved result, highlighting Napoli's opportunistic efficiency in a tightly contested match.
