Bodø/Glimt beat HamKam 2-0 to go top of Norwegian league
Napoli's next Champions League opponents scored both goals before half-time at HamKam, but goalscorer Blomberg went off injured late in the first half.
Bodø/Glimt won 2-0 away at HamKam on Sunday 18 October, with the game already settled by half-time. The result sends Napoli's next Champions League opponents top of the Norwegian league on their own, three points clear of Viking — the side Napoli also face in the league phase, who play Fredrikstad at 18:00 CET the same day.
Blomberg opened the scoring in the 19th minute, heading in a cross from Sjovold. The second goal followed in the 38th minute: Benjamin lost the ball under pressure near his own box, Berg won it back and found Mvuka Mugisha on the right, who beat the goalkeeper with an outside-of-the-foot finish. Blomberg was hurt in a penalty-box collision late in the first half and was replaced by Bjorkan.

Head coach Knutsen rotated almost his entire side from the Borussia Dortmund game a few days earlier, keeping only five of the same starters — among them Blomberg, who scored against Juventus in last season's 2-3 home Champions League game and set up two goals across the double-header with Inter. Napoli go into Tuesday 20 October's match at the Maradona (21:00 CET, matchday three of the league phase) with zero points, after an opening defeat to Arsenal and a 3-1 loss at Villarreal.
