Napoli: Meret 6, Di Lorenzo 8, Rrahmani n/a, Jesus 5, Olivera 6, Anguissa 5, Lobotka 6, Zielinski 7, Politano 5, Osimhen 8, Kvaratskhelia 5. Subs: Ostigard 6, Raspadori 6, Elmas 5, Natan n/a, Simeone n/a. Match highlightsBIG CHANCE! 5' - Fonte gives the ball away with a careless pass which puts Osimhen through one-on-one, but Matheus makes himself big and denies the Nigerian. A huge let-off for Braga. OFF THE BAR! 26' - With the ball rolled into his path by Kvaratskhelia, Osimhen turns and shoots from 16 yards, crashing the ball onto the bar.
That included being a key reason for both Napoli goals - the first came after a cross aimed in his direction could only be semi-cleared, the second from a cross again aimed in his vicinity. It may have been a frustrating night for Osimhen personally, but he ensured the defenders trying to contain him had a worse one.

Victor Osimhen could have had a hat-trick by that stage, but was denied by Matheus Magalhaes when through one-on-one, had a header tipped onto the post and also struck the bar. Braga did carry a threat in their first Champions League match in a decade and Napoli's misses looked to come back to haunt them when Bruma equalised with an excellent header in the 84th minute. Yet there was a sting in the tale for Braga as Sikou Niakate sliced a cross into his own net to put Napoli back in front. Pizzi struck the post for Braga in the fifth minute of added time, but there was not to be a second equaliser as they succumbed to defeat. For Napoli, the win takes them top of Group C. Talking point - Napoli get away with itDespite creating a plethora of chances in the first half, this was not a particularly impressive performance overall from Napoli.
SC Braga 1-2 Napoli - Sikou Niakate own goal gifts Serie A champions late victory in opening game - EurosportNapoli opened their Champions League campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Braga, thanks in large part to a captain's goal from Giovanni Di Lorenzo. The Serie A champions were profligate in an end-to-end first half, but finally broke the deadlock in added time when Di Lorenzo volleyed into the ground and in off the crossbar after Braga only semi-cleared a cross.
Those chances dried up in the second period and were it not for a fortunate own goal, they would have left with just a point. Defensively they showed fragility too. Braga had multiple good chances even after going 2-1 down and were incredibly close to drawing level, with Pizzi's late shot hitting the post and flying across the face of goal. This goes down in the record books as an away win, something that's hard to come by in the Champions League and therefore an excellent result for Napoli. But scratch the surface and there are reasons for alarm as the side adjusts to life under new manager Rudi Garcia. Player of the match - Victor Osimhen (Napoli) Osimhen was a handful for the Braga defence all evening and did everything but score.
