Stadio San Paolo, Naples- 6 November, 2013- 19.45 UK KO - Champions League
However, it was not an easy contest for the home side as instead of
getting themselves in front, they found themselves trailing through
Andre Ayew's effort after just 10 minutes of play. The home side bounced
back in style though as they equalized on 22 minutes, thanks to a
spectacular strike from Gokhan Inler.
Napoli were spurred on with
that equalizing goal as they pushed forward and extended their lead
through their summer signing Gonzalo Higuain on 24 minutes. The away
were not done yet as they got back on level terms, with an effort
arriving from Florian Thauvin. However, it was the host that earned all
three points when Higuain netting home his second in that encounter, 15
minutes from time.
