Napoli 0-0 Sporting

Ouch! De Bruyne looks hurt after getting caught by Fresneda, with both players writhing in pain after an unlucky 50/50. Both look okay to continue, though.

Napoli 0-0 Sporting

Fresneda does well on the left-hand side to put a ball into the Napoli penalty box but it is cleared well by the Neapolitan defence once again. The visitors have shown signs of promise, though, and Fresneda looks dangerous on the left.
