- 17' Matteo Politano has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 22' What an equalizer from Jude Bellingham!
- 27' 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 Piotr Zielinski suffering a number of foals already.
- 32' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
- 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSC Napoli that had 495 games and scored 553 goals.

- 54' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 62' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 65' Real Madrid CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nico Paz is hanging Brahim Diaz on the field on 65 minute.
- 70' The travelling SSC Napoli supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 75' It’s high time Walter Mazzarri made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 78' Another change for SSC Napoli made on 78 minute. Matteo Politano leaves to be changed by Jens Cajuste.
- 83' 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.
- 84' GOAL! Nico Paz scores on 84.
- 87' The whistle greets Stanislav Lobotka as he departs to be replaced by Giacomo Raspadori.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jens Cajuste.
