"Napoli dominated the ball early on and saw Eljif Elmas' near-post attempt smothered by visiting captain Lorenzo Montipo, but by the 27th minute, the champions were 2-0 down. Martin Frese met Cheikh Niasse's centre with an inventive backheel to put Verona ahead in the 16th minute, then Gift Orban - who had been heavily involved in the opening goal - stroked home from the penalty spot after Alessandro Buongiorno was penalised for handball."
"Hojlund thought he had equalised with a volley on the stretch in the 72nd minute, only for the goal to be disallowed for a handball by the Manchester United loanee, then Amir Rrahmani was denied by the offside flag after converting from McTominay's knock-down. However, it was third time lucky for Napoli as they got their equaliser eight minutes from time, with Di Lorenzo sweeping Luca Marianucci's cross inside the near post."
