"The reigning Serie A champions looked to be on course for three precious points when Scott McTominay rose to meet a left-sided corner from Eljif Elmas and plant a firm header into the top-right corner. That goal came seven minutes before half-time and shortly after Copenhagen were reduced to 10 men, with captain Thomas Delaney seeing red for a high lunge on Stanislav Lobotka, with his punishment upgraded following a VAR review."
"But Napoli failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage after the interval, and Copenhagen were gifted a golden chance to equalise when Alessandro Buongiorno chopped Mohamed Elyounoussi down in the area after 69 minutes. Jordan Larsson's tame spot-kick was saved by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, but the Copenhagen forward pounced on the rebound to tap home. Substitute Lorenzo Lucca missed a glorious chance to win it for Napoli late on"
