🔥 Brest's super first half: 2-0 at halftime
The first half was very challenging for the Azzurri, who went into the break trailing by 2 goals thanks to two goals from Ludovic Ajorque.
At 28 minutes, the forward opened the scoring by taking advantage of a cross from Bradley Locko that was deflected by Amir Rrahmani. Ajorque left no chance for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. The second goal came at 33 minutes: a cross from the right by Melou and a precise header by Ajorque.
Napoli's best chance came from Kevin De Bruyne, who hit the post from just a few meters out. The Belgian anticipated a low cross from Giovanni Di Lorenzo but was unlucky with the deflection.
⚽️ Napoli reacts, Lucca scores again
In the second half, Napoli managed to change the pace from the start. The 2-1 came at 64 minutes and was scored by Lorenzo Lucca, marking a goal for the second game in a row: the forward was ready in the middle of the area and scored after an assist from Matteo Politano.
Napoli played better in the remaining part of the second half but couldn't find the equalizer. Politano was frequently dangerous, and De Bruyne remained very active, showing great promise.
Napoli adds another 90 minutes of play and now awaits the match against Girona, scheduled for August 9.
