0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Red Bull Salzburg to score. At the same time, SSC Napoli does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
15' Giovanni Di Lorenzo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SSC Napoli so far.
17' Dries Mertens has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 17 minutes.
22' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alex Meret made 519 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
27' It’s high time Carlo Ancelotti made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
32' Patson Daka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
33' Another substitution for FC Red Bull Salzburg to replace Cican Stankovic by Carlos Miguel on 33 minute.
38' Hirving Lozano catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 38.
39' That is a Yellow card for SSC Napoli. Kevin Malcuit will be fuming at that decision.
40' The Norway Erling Haaland breaks the deadlock on 40 minutes. 1-1!
45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Erling Haaland.
50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
55' Hwang Heechan, a South Korea forward, has 18 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
60' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Rasmus Kristensen suffering a number of foals already.
64' Sensational shot from Dries Mertens. SSC Napoli is back in the lead.
65' The whistle greets Hirving Lozano as he departs to be replaced by Lorenzo Insigne.
68' The crowd applauds Patson Daka as he leaves the pitch. Majeed Ashimeru steps in for FC Red Bull Salzburg.
72' Erling Haaland doubles the advantage! 2-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
73' Lorenzo Insigne adds to his 3 season tally! SSC Napoli lead 2-3 — and this changes everything.
76' Llorente has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dries Mertens on 76 minute.
80' The SSC Napoli bench stirs into life. Jose Callejon is withdrawn and Eljif Elmas gets his opportunity.
85' FC Red Bull Salzburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
89' FC Red Bull Salzburg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sekou Koita is hanging Enock Mwepu on the field on 89 minute.
89' Llorente picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
