NAPOLI \u2013 Sette gol, due vantaggi sprecati, una doppietta di Scott McTominay e un finale ancora una volta da brividi.Il Napoli di Massimiliano Allegri conquista la prima vittoria in Champions League, battendo 4-3 il Bod\u00f8\/Glimt allostadio Diego Armando Maradona nella terza giornata della fase campionato. Un successo sofferto, arrivato al terminedi una partita nella quale gli azzurri hanno alternato momenti di buon calcio a preoccupanti disattenzioni difensive.<\/p>\n
After defeats in their first two European matches and their recent league misstep against Venezia, Napoli needed to regain the three points. They achieved that goal, but the performance still leaves several questions unanswered about the team's resilience.<\/p>\n
The Norwegians twice recovered from a deficit, leveling the score at 2-2 in the second half and seriously threatening the Azzurri. McTominay scored twice and an unfortunate own goal from Bj\u00f8rtuft settled the match, before Fet scored the final goal for the visitors in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
Allegri changes some players compared to the formation used in the championship and Napoli starts with a completely different intensity than in recent games.<\/p>\n
It only takes a minute to unlock the achievement.<\/p>\n
Leonardo Spinazzola passed to Matteo Politano, who volleyed the ball with his left foot past the Norwegian goalkeeper, making it 1-0.<\/p>\n
The goal seems to free the Azzurri from the tension accumulated in previous matches.<\/p>\n
Allegri's team continued to attack and created several opportunities to double their lead. Noa Lang and Giovanni DiLorenzo came close to scoring, while McTominay and H\u00f8jlund also attempted to threaten.<\/p>\n
Napoli seemed to be in control of the match, but were unable to capitalize on their initial superiority.<\/p>\n
The first defensive lapse costs the Neapolitans dearly.<\/p>\n
In the 27th minute, Bod\u00f8\/Glimt found the equaliser with Jens Petter Hauge, who was good at taking advantage of an assist from Sondre Fet and beating Meret.<\/p>\n
It's 1-1, a result that changes the inertia of the match.<\/p>\n
The Norwegians gain confidence, increase the pressure and put the Italian rearguard in difficulty.<\/p>\n
Napoli went through a difficult few minutes, but managed to regain the lead before half-time.<\/p>\n
In the 41st minute, Scott McTominay found the winning shot, aided by a deflection off Gundersen, to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n
Allegri's team thus ended the first half ahead in the score, despite having already shown some weaknesses in managing the defensive phase.<\/p>\n
The second half started in the worst possible way for the Azzurri.<\/p>\n
Napoli gradually lost control of the midfield, moving their centre of gravity back and leaving space for the Norwegians' initiatives.<\/p>\n
Bod\u00f8\/Glimt increases the intensity and creates several chances.<\/p>\n
Hauge threatens again, Helmersen tries to shoot and Meret has to intervene on Blomberg and Auklend, preventing the visitors from finding an immediate equaliser.<\/p>\n
Allegri tries to correct the formation by bringing on Stanislav Lobotka, with the aim of regaining balance and quality in ball management.<\/p>\n
Napoli even managed to hit the post, but continued to suffer from their opponents' counterattacks.<\/p>\n
Norway deservedly equalized in the 63rd minute.<\/p>\n
Fet was once again the protagonist in the attack: the midfielder served Andreas Helmersen, who found the winning diagonal shot and beat Meret.<\/p>\n
It's 2-2, a result that reflects the difficulties of the Azzurri in a second half dominated for long stretches by the guests.<\/p>\n
After the second draw, Bod\u00f8\/Glimt seems to have more energy and clarity.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian team continues to attack, while Napoli struggles to find distance between the departments.<\/p>\n
But just at the most difficult moment, comes the play that changes the game again.<\/p>\n
In the 75th minute, Politano crossed a precise ball into the middle, which Scott McTominay pounced on.<\/p>\n
The Scotsman heads the ball past the goalkeeper to make it 3-2 and his personal brace.<\/p>\n
A very important goal, which restores Napoli's confidence and ends their opponents' best moment.<\/p>\n
McTominay thus became one of the absolute protagonists of the evening, proving decisive in both phases in which the Azzurri needed to regain the lead.<\/p>\n
Bod\u00f8\/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen tries to react by making four substitutions to give new energy to the team.<\/p>\n
But just as the Norwegians were trying to reorganize, the episode that would definitively decide the match occurred.<\/p>\n
A defensive error by Sj\u00f8vold allows Giovane to intervene and put a dangerous ball towards the goal.<\/p>\n
The trajectory causes an unfortunate deflection by Bj\u00f8rtuft, who sends the ball into his own net.<\/p>\n
It's 4-2 for Napoli, a two-goal lead that finally seems to put the result beyond doubt.<\/p>\n
Allegri's team can thus manage the final minutes with a greater margin, even if the defensive difficulties are not yet over.<\/p>\n
Bod\u00f8\/Glimt did not give up on attacking even after conceding the fourth goal.<\/p>\n
In injury time, in the 93rd minute, Sondre Fet found the net to make it 4-3, at least theoretically reopening a match that seemed already over.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian midfielder's goal increased the tension in the final moments, but Napoli managed to defend their lead until the final whistle.<\/p>\n
The Azzurri thus conquered their first three points of their Champions League campaign, drawing level with Bod\u00f8\/Glimt in the overall league standings.<\/p>\n
The success represents a necessary response after a start to the season characterised by negative results.<\/p>\n
Napoli regains victory in Europe and can count on the performances of some key players, starting with McTominay and Politano, who were crucial in building the result.<\/p>\n
However, problems in managing the matches remain evident.<\/p>\n
The Azzurri were caught twice, suffered for a long time in the second half and conceded three goals to a team capable of exploiting the spaces left by the defence.<\/p>\n
Even Lobotka's entry was not enough to immediately restore balance to the midfield.<\/p>\n
For Allegri, therefore, three precious points arrive but not yet proof of a definitive turning point.<\/p>\n
