End of 2nd Half
90+6'
NAPOLI HOLD ON FOR CRUCIAL WIN
FT: Braga 1-2 Napoli. Despite a late, late scare, Napoli hold on and take all three points back to Italy. Braga never gave up and looked to have rescued a point through Bruma's fine header, but a cruel own goal condemns them to defeat and means it is an uphill battle if they are to emerge from the group. Napoli, after one round of matches, sit top of Group C.

OFF THE POST!
Napoli fail to clear, Pizzi makes a good run behind the defence, is found and from a tight angle whacks a shot off the post! So close to a leveller.

ANOTHER BRAGA MISS
As Braga push for a goal, a cutback finds Al Musrati but he shoots horribly high and over.

ALMOST 2-2
A Braga corner comes all the way to Horta, who controls well at the back post and the shoots just over.

GOAL! BRAGA 1-2 NAPOLI (NIAKATE OWN GOAL)
It's tired defending from Braga as they fail to properly clear, allowing Zielinski to smash a cross into the six-yard box and Niakate slices a clearance into his own goal. Napoli back ahead.

GOOD DEFENDING
Zielinski finds space off the left again, but Fonte makes a strong block to stop the cross coming in.
73'
BIG MISS
Zielinski, perhaps caught in two minds, is picked out brilliantly at the far post by his captain but neither really crosses or shoots and instead applies a side-foot volley to nobody except the byline.

PENALTY APPEAL
Horta takes a dive in the Napoli box, in the vicinity of Lobotka, but that is never a penalty.
