40'
ZIELINSKI SHOOTS WIDE
The midfielder tries to catch Onana off his line with a free-kick from 30-yards. The goalkeeper is stranded, but thankfully for his point of view the ball goes wide
39'
NAPOLI DOMINATING
68% possession for the hosts so far!
36'
NO OUTLET FOR INTER
The visitors are defending so deep, that they can't find an 'out ball' when they eventually get possession, its
33'
ACROBATIC OSIMHEN EFFORT
The striker tries his luck with an overhead kick from close range, but it drops wide
30'
OSIMHEN WANTS A PENALTY
The striker feels his shirt was pulled as he went to ground in the box, but the referee waves away the appeals
27'
NAPOLI TRYING TO GET GOING
The hosts are having plenty of the ball in the final third, but worryingly are struggling for an end product. Inter are doing well to surround the penalty area and keep them quiet
24'
POOR REFEREEING
Gagliardini has just been booked. He commits another clear foul with a late tackle, but somehow gets away without a yellow card. The midfielder shouldn't be on the pitch - and Napoli are making that point clear to the officials
22'
OSIMHEN HEADER SAVED
That's the first shot on target of the match, but it's a fairly easy save for Onana, who collects as Osimhen meets Elmas' right-wing cross
19'
YELLOW CARD
Now we have a booking, the first one of the match. Gagliardini is booked for a late tackle on Giovanni Di Lorenzo

ANGUISSA COMES CLOSE AGAIN
That was a lovely bit of play by the midfielder, who picks the ball up with back to goal on the edge of the area, swivels and shoots just wide of the near post
15'
NEITHER TEAM FINDING THEIR FEET
15 minutes in and just the two shots so far, one for either side - and the Inter effort was a speculative effort that was blocked away. Both teams will want a bit more in the final third
12'
ANGUISSA SLIDES WIDE
A clever routine from the resulting free-kick, but an off-balance Frank Anguissa can't get his shot on target, firing the wrong side of the post from inside the area
12'
DE VRIJ GETS AWAY WITH ONE
A poor tackle by the defender on Osimhen, but somehow he gets away with only conceding a free-kick. If that had been in the second half, you can guarantee it would have been a yellow
1o'
INTER TRYING TO FEEL THEIR WAY INTO THE GAME
For the first time, Inter are having a spell of possession. They're not going anywhere with it, but the visitors have at least taken the chance to get their foot on the ball and try to dictate the tempo
7'
OSIMHEN THE TARGET
Perhaps it's no surprise that the striker is being sought out by his Napoli teammates, but a couple of long balls over the top now have had too much on them
4'
SLOW START
Nothing to report from either side early on really. Napoli have had plenty of the ball and did get one cross into the box, but it was easily claimed by Onana
