🔥 Strong first half from Brest: 2-0 at halftime

A very difficult first half for the Azzurri, who trailed by two goals at halftime, thanks to Ludovic Ajorque's double pack.

In the 28th minute, the striker scored the first goal by converting a cross from Bradley Locko, which was deflected by Amir Rrahmani. Milinkovic-Savic had no chance to defend. The second goal came in the 33rd minute: a cross from the right side by Melou and a successful header by Ajorque.

Napoli's best chance was Kevin De Bruyne, who only hit the post from a few meters out. The Belgian finished after a low cross from Giovanni Di Lorenzo, but was unlucky with the finish.

⚽️ Napoli becomes more dangerous – Lucca scores again

In the second half, Napoli managed to increase the tempo immediately. The 2-1 goal came in the 64th minute through Lorenzo Lucca, who scored his second goal in a row: He was in the right position in the penalty area and converted after an assist from Matteo Politano.

Napoli also played better in the rest of the second half, but couldn't equalize. Politano remained frequently dangerous, and Kevin De Bruyne also showed a good performance.

After this friendly defeat, SSC Napoli will continue against last season's CL participant, FC Girona, on 08/09.
