Napoli scraped a 2-2 draw with Adana Demirspor with a Chucky Lozano brace after Mario Balotelli had scored for the Turkish club.

Victor Osimhen had the ball in the net after four minutes, but it was disallowed due to offside.

Amir Rrahmani really should’ve scored, only to thump the crossbar from point-blank range on a Matteo Politano cross.

Politano also went close, until Lozano opened the scoring by meeting the Kvicha Kvaratskhelia assist from close range.

Alex Meret kept out substitute Balotelli’s free kick and Kvaratskhelia continued to wreak havoc with his mazy runs.

Leo Ostigard made several big errors, including one that forced Meret to bring down Balotelli for a penalty, which the Italian striker converted.

Adana Demirspor received another penalty, this time caused by Mathias Olivera and scored by Salih Kavrazli.

Deep into stoppages, Lozano snatched an equaliser on the rebound from a blocked Alessio Zerbin effort.
