Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Real Madrid CF and SSC Napoli get this one started.
  • 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Real Madrid CF must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 9' Giovanni Simeone adds to his 0 season tally! SSC Napoli lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 10' Giovanni Simeone doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 11' What a moment for Rodrygo! That strike on 11 puts his side firmly in control.

  • 17' Real Madrid CF are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SSC Napoli backline.
  • 22' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jude Bellingham makes it 2-2.
  • 27' The travelling SSC Napoli supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 32' Real Madrid CF is showing some good football. However, Real Madrid CF are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 37' Ukraine international Andriy Lunin has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 42' 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.
  • 46' Victor Osimhen is ready to make an impact after coming on for Giovanni Simeone at the 46 minute mark.
  • 47' GOAL! Andre Zambo Anguissa fires home to make it 2-3!
  • 49' It’s a booking for SSC Napoli player. Piotr Zielinski gets a Yellow card.

  • 75' Alex Meret has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 78' The SSC Napoli manager makes a substitution. Matteo Politano departs to be replaced by Jens Cajuste.
  • 83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSC Napoli that had 508 games and scored 640 goals.
  • 84' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Nico Paz makes no mistake. 3-3!
  • 87' The crowd applauds Stanislav Lobotka as he leaves the pitch. Giacomo Raspadori steps in for SSC Napoli.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jens Cajuste.
