UCL: Ødegaard fires Arsenal to 1-0 win at Napoli

Martin Ødegaard scored a crucial 75th-minute goal to give Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Napoli in their UEFA Champions League opener at Napoli's Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Norwegian captain's precise left-footed strike from outside the box, assisted by substitute Christos Tzolis, secured the Gunners a hard-earned win after they dominated possession and created numerous goal-scoring opportunities throughout the match.
