Napoli 4-3 Bodo/Glimt: McTominay's brace sees off a late scare
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 4 goals from 1.57 xG: +2.43 over expectation
- 8 shots on target vs a season average of 4.9
- 75': McTominay's goal worth +1.2 FN xPts
Seven goals and four lead changes
Matteo Politano scored in the first minute, but Bodo/Glimt levelled in the 27th and again in the 62nd. Napoli went back in front each time and spent 62 of the 90 minutes ahead. Sondre Fet's goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time only made it 4-3.
Weaker chances, sharper finishing
Bodo/Glimt carried the better chances, with 0.17 xG per shot against Napoli's 0.09 and 2.51 xG overall against 1.57. Even so, Napoli outperformed their xG by 2.43. Their eight shots on target were well above their average of 4.9 across nine matches this season, and four goals is their most in that run.
Six changes, and the creators delivered
Napoli changed six starters and paired Kevin De Bruyne with Noa Lang. De Bruyne made seven key passes, the most on the pitch, and set up the 41st-minute goal. Leonardo Spinazzola added four key passes and the assist for the opener, while Lang had four shots and won three of four dribbles. Napoli had only 43% of the ball, below their season average of 51.2%.
McTominay's 75th-minute goal reset the match
Bodo/Glimt's equaliser in the 62nd minute cost Napoli −0.9 in FN xPts. The reply came in the 75th, when Scott McTominay made it 3-2. That goal was worth +1.2 FN xPts for Napoli and −0.8 for Bodo/Glimt, the largest combined change of the match. An own goal in the 88th minute then made it 4-2.
FN MOM
Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Scott McTominay 9.1Dominant
He scored twice, took seven shots and made six defensive actions.
McTominay scored in the 41st and 75th minutes, and both goals put Napoli back in front after Bodo/Glimt had levelled. He also made two tackles, one interception and three blocks, won six of nine duels and found a team-mate with all 40 of his passes. That workload covered both boxes.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth
How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist. The value next to a team code is what the same moment did to the other side's expected points; the decisive moment is the one with the largest combined change for both teams.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
