Napoli 2:1 Osasuna — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Matteo Politano struck the opener as Napoli edged Osasuna 2-1 in a Club Friendly, the midfielder’s 9.9-rated display setting up a meeting with Celta Vigo on 8 August. The Italian side took the lead through Politano’s 27th-minute finish from Leonardo Spinazzola’s assist, and Lorenzo Lucca doubled the advantage in the 53rd minute before Ante Budimir pulled one back for the visitors in the 69th.

Napoli’s second goal came just six minutes after Lucca had been booked, and the hosts managed the contest comfortably thereafter, even as Osasuna pushed for an equaliser late on. Frank Anguissa had earlier gone into the book in the 24th minute, but the defensive discipline held firm to see out the win.

Possession was dead level at 50% apiece, yet Osasuna edged the corner count three to two, suggesting the gap was narrower than the scoreline flattered. Politano was the standout with his 9.9 rating and decisive contribution from midfield. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Napoli and the result confirmed it.
