André-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s Napoli claimed a dramatic 4-3 victory over Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, with the Cameroon international starting as the Italian side secured a crucial win in the league phase. Napoli made an explosive start at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, taking the lead through Matteo Politano after just one minute, but Jens Petter Hauge equalised for the visitors in the 27th minute. Scott McTominay restored Napoli’s advantage shortly before half-time to put the hosts 2-1 ahead at the break.
Bodø/Glimt refused to back down after the restart, with Andreas Helmersen equalising in the 63rd minute to put the pressure back on the Italian side. McTominay proved decisive once again, heading home Politano’s cross in the 75th minute to give Napoli a 3-2 lead. The hosts extended their advantage in the 89th minute when Bodø/Glimt defender Odin Bjørtuft scored an own goal, although Sondre Brunstad Fet pulled one back in stoppage time to set up a tense finish.
Anguissa started in midfield alongside McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne before being substituted for Stanislav Lobotka in the 60th minute. The Cameroon international was booked during the second half as Napoli sought to contain the visitors’ attacking threat. Despite conceding three goals, Napoli held on to secure all three points in an entertaining seven-goal encounter.
The victory provides Napoli with a valuable boost in their Champions League campaign, while Anguissa’s starting appearance represents another opportunity for the midfielder to contribute to the club’s European ambitions. McTominay’s brace and Politano’s influential performance proved crucial in a match that tested Napoli’s defensive resilience. The Italian side will now look to build on the result as they continue their European campaign.
