Arsenal achieved a precious victory over their host Napoli with a goal to nil, in the match that brought them together at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, as part of the first round of the league stage in the Champions League.
The first half was balanced between the two teams, as each side tried to reach their opponent's goal, but the attempts did not result in any goals, so the first half of the match ended with a goalless draw.
In the second half, Arsenal intensified their offensive pressure in search of a goal to give them the advantage, which was achieved in the 75th minute by captain Martin Ødegaard, who unleashed a powerful and wonderful shot from the edge of the penalty area, which the Napoli goalkeeper could not save, and the ball found the back of the net.
The hosts tried to capitalize on the remaining minutes to return to the match and equalize the score, but Arsenal's defense successfully dealt with Napoli's attempts and maintained their lead until the final whistle.
With this victory, Arsenal earned their first 3 points in their Champions League league stage campaign, while Napoli began their continental campaign with a home loss, remaining without any points.
