Juve are keeping the ball, but again, moving it so slowly…
Zhegrova cuts inside, series of quick flicks, but Zhegrova then fires it straight at VMS from the edge of the area!
Into 4 minutes of added time.
Juve are swarming, but David fouls Rrahmani after a cross from the left, which was nodded over anyway.

Lang off, Vergara on for Napoli.
Juve throw-in doesn’t pay off, Napoli on the counter with McTominay, roll across for Hojlund, but he can’t get on the end of it!
Huh. Kostic looks up to see his options, forgets where the ball is, and fails to cross it.
Napoli retake the lead, and it's Rasmus Hojlund at the double! ⚽️⚽️ A poacher's goal as he bundles the ball home after the header back across goal to give Napoli a 2-1 lead.

Zhegrova on, Thuram off for Juventus.
Politano on, David Neres off.
Neres cross from the right, McKennie had attempted to clear it, but the header was rather weak and turned into an accidental assist for Hojlund to nod it in from four yards!
Spinazzola shimmies away from McKennie down the left and stands up the cross, it’s cleared, then Di Gregorio just about gets it under control.
Miretti and Openda on for Juventus, Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz off.
That took a while, Spalletti not too clear on it being a double change.
Kostic on for Juventus, Cambiaso off.
Beukema booked for going in a bit late on Thuram.
Spinazzola on, Olivera off.
No Politano yet, then.
