Napoli 4-3 Lazio

A thrilling match brought a busy week to an end and Lazio were very unlucky to come away with nothing from their first game.
The first chance fell to pre-tournament favourites  Napoli but Luka's attempted lob over Christian was easily cleared by Hans. A second lob by Luka four minutes later went wide but then Mattia M put the Neapolitans ahead when Andrea Ooi broke with pace down the left and fed Mattia who placed the shot under an advancing Christian. Emilio made it 2-0 when he followed up Christian's save from  Luka shot and Luka himself made it 3-0 when he received a pass from Jacopo. Antoine hit the post just before half-time but saw his side turn around three goals down.
The second half was a different story. Lazio took over the midfield and pinned down Napoli. Jacopo broke away and hit the bar but then Luca Cerri's throw was relayed by Hans to Filippo and he made it 3-1. Antoine himself made it 3-2 and Lazio sustained the momentum long enough to make it 3-3 through Hans. Another savage shot from Antoine was well-blocked by Danyal and then Antoine hit the post for the second time. And so what a cruel blow it was when Emilio stole away at the death to hit the winning goal.
