Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: SSC Napoli gets underway.
- 5' The travelling Benevento Calcio supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
