Norman Osborn's Green Goblin armor and Green Goblin Glider were advanced technology on par with the Iron Man suit. Just as wealthy as Tony Stark, he had also chosen vibranium, the strongest metal currently known on Earth.
So while their battle looked incredibly fierce, with sparks flying everywhere, it was really just two turtles slugging it out. Neither could do much damage to the other.
