Matteo Politano struck in the opening minute, before the two teams traded goals between Jens Petter Hauge, Scott McTominay and Andreas Helmersen.

McTominay's second of the match was then followed by an Odin Bjortuft own goal, which eventually proved the winner after Sonder Fet set up a nervy finale with a 94th-minute header.

There were only 54 seconds on the clock when Politano rifled in Leonardo Spinazzola's pinpoint cross with a stunning volley.

Noa Lang and Rasmus Hojlund both passed up presentable opportunities before Hauge equalised against the run of play with a lovely low curler through the crowded Napoli box 27 minutes in.

But Napoli were back in front four minutes before the break after McTominay combined with Kevin De Bruyne and got a stroke of luck as his strike looped in despite Nikita Haikin getting a full hand on it.

McTominay then struck the post with a first-time effort on the hour, and it proved a costly miss as Bodo equalised again in the 62nd minute when Helmersen drilled his low strike past Alex Meret.

Bodo continued to push but McTominay put Napoli back in front against the run of play 13 minutes later, rising high to nod Politano's cross past a helpless Haikin.

With two minutes of the 90 remaining, Bjortuft slid in to try and block Giovane's low cross from the left, but his touch inadvertently helped it sneak in at the near post, as Haikin had been poised to collect behind him.

Fet, who had an impressive game as he also racked up assists for the first two goals, nodded in from a yard out after Bjortuft's looping volley struck the underside of the bar, but there was not enough time for Bodo to find a late equaliser.
