  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

  • 40' Mohamed El Neny has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SSC Napoli needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 47' A meaty challenge results in booking for Elseid Hysaj on 47.

  • 83' SSC Napoli ring the changes. Lorenzo Insigne has done his job and it is now time for Amin Younes to step up.
  • 88' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Allan made 508 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 2-0 the final result. Arsenal FC will be bitterly disappointed.
