J. Onguéné is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOOOOAAALL! It's an own goal by Onguene, which puts Napoli 3-0 ahead! The cross came into the box from the left wing, into a superb area, just between the goalkeeper and the defence. Onguene had to try and clear as Milik was directly behind him and would've had a tap in from a couple of yards out if he hadn't of gone for the ball.

37'
Salzburg try to play the ball out from the back, but Napoli get players forward and put them under a great deal of pressure, which forces the error and Napoli win a corner. Walke does well to punch the ball clear.
35'
Terrific cross into the box by Callejon after racing down the right-wing, his low ball looks to be heading straight to the feet of Milik, who would then only have the keeper to beat. However, Onguene gets back just in time to clear the danger.
34'
Salzburg look happy to try and soak up the Napoli pressure at the moment, they are struggling to get out of their own half and haven't created any chances of their own since the opening couple of minutes. A goal before half-time could make a big difference.

18'
Fabián Ruiz has scored a goal for Napoli! Assist by José Callejón.
GOOOOAAALL! Napoli double their lead, it's 2-0 after a great finish by Ruiz! The hosts had Salzburg penned inside their own half and the visitors failed to deal with a corner, which eventually makes it's way to Ruiz on the edge of the box, who volleys the ball into the bottom corner.
Callejon was about to chip the ball back into the penalty area, but instead spotted Ruiz in space on the edge of the box and the midfielder did the rest, with a fine finish.
15'
Decent effort! Koulibaly rises highest as a corner is whipped into the penalty area, the centre-back tries to glance the ball into the far corner, but he doesn't get enough on it and it flies just wide.
12'

8'
Blocked! Good chance for Napoli! Ruiz is allowed far too much time and space in the penalty area, he wanders into a good position and is well picked out by Mertens, before turning and firing a shot at goal. However, Ramalho does brilliantly to get across and block the effort out for a corner.
7'
Both teams are struggling to keep the ball at the moment, as they are pressing high up the pitch and limiting the time and space each other have to play into.
