First half of great effort from the Azzurri, who find themselves down by 2 goals at halftime due to Ludovic Ajorque's double.

At the 28' the striker scores the first goal taking advantage of a cross from Bradley Locko deflected by Amir Rrahmani. The striker leaves no chance for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. The second goal comes at minute 33: cross from the right by Melou and a winning header by Ajorque.

The best chance for Napoli falls to Kevin De Bruyne, who hits the post from a few meters. The Belgian pounces on a low cross from Giovanni Di Lorenzo, but is unlucky in the deflection.

⚽️ Napoli lights up, Lucca scores again

In the second half, Napoli manages to change pace right away. The 2-1 comes at minute 64 and is from Lorenzo Lucca, scoring his second consecutive goal: the striker is ready in the center of the area and scores the goal on an assist from Matteo Politano.

The team also plays better in the remaining part of the second half, but does not find the 2-2. Politano is often dangerous, De Bruyne is still very active from whom good indications come.

Napoli puts another 90 minutes in their legs and now awaits the challenge with Girona scheduled for August 9.
