38'
Since going a goal down, Napoli have played their best football of the match. I'm not sure what that says about Ospina and Milik.

Napoli win a free-kick 35 yards out and Insigne fancies it, guiding it around the wall but too softly and too close to Szczesny.
36'
35'
Zielinski is a constant danger, and a long ball down the side sees him bursting onto it from midfield. But he can't get his foot around his shot, lashing it high and wide of the near post.

Callejon skirts around Pjanic, who trips him for no reason - the ball was midway inside the Napoli half. Booking.
33'
Malcuit, seeking redemption, crosses low from the left, but Chiellini clears as he falls. Napoli need to score soon because they can't maintain this tempo. In the meantime, Zielinski finds Insigne who curls towards the far post but without the power and direction to trouble Szczesny.
31'
This is great from Napoli, led by Insigne. He dashes towards the box and Koulibaly screeches downfield to help him out - they win a corner but it comes to nothing.

Aaaargh! Out of naewhere, a lovely curling ball from Ruiz finds Zielinski, in between Bonucci and Chiellini. He lashes low across Szczesny, but the ball bounces against the foot of the post!

GOAL! Napoli 0-1 Juventus (Pjanic) Oh dear. The free-kick is nice but not great, curling over the inside edge of the wall and past Ospina without troubling the corner.
28'
My days this would rub their souls in it...
27'
So it's a free-kick to Juve on the edge of the box, just left of the D. Pjanic and Ronaldo are behind it...

After some prevarication, Ancelotti sends on Ospina for poor old Milik.

RED CARD MERET! Malcuit plays him an awful return backpass, Ronaldo nips in, takes the ball ahead of the keeper, makes sure to clip him as he passes, and down he goes. The red card is inevitable, and it doesn't really matter whether Meret touched Ronaldo or not - he put his body where yerman wanted to run and didn't get close to the ball.
24'
The corner comes to nothing.
24'
Insigne runs at Napoli after a phalanx of his mates win the ball in midfield. He finds Zielinski, who shoots into Bonucci and wins a corner.
22'
Yes, let's. Dearie me.
21'
Insigne tries for the ball in a challenge with Bernardeschi - his boot is high, but he's nowhere near, and the Juve man then collides with Bonucci. After a while, both get up.
20'
Ronaldo makes like it's good old 20034, chucking in some stepovers before crossing into Fabian Ruiz.
19'
Sandro brushes Callejon in the face and Callejon acts like he set his face on fire and put it out with a golf shoe.
18'
We've seen near enough nowt of Juve's front three.
16'
Napoli are the better side at the moment and Insigne curls in a free-kick that Maksimovic reaches first ... because he's offside.
