@wcxpert: Napoli 2-0 Qarabag FK | UEFA Champions League Info #napoli #qarabag #ucl #uefachampionsleague #championsleague In a crucial UEFA Champions League fixture, Napoli secured a 2-0 home victory against a resilient Qarabag side at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The win was particularly significant as it coincided with the fifth anniversary of club legend Diego Maradona's passing, with the home crowd providing an emotional atmosphere. While Qarabag was able to hold Napoli scoreless throughout a quiet first half, the Italian side's tactical cohesion shone through in the second period. The turning point came in the second half, despite Napoli missing a golden opportunity to take the lead. In the 56th minute, Rasmus Hojlund had his penalty saved by Qarabag goalkeeper Mateusz Kochalski after Qarabag's Marko Jankovic committed a foul in the box. However, the hosts finally broke the deadlock in the 65th minute when Scott McTominay pounced on a rebound from a corner kick, firing the ball into the net from close range. McTominay proved to be the hero of the night, as he was involved in Napoli's second goal as well. Just seven minutes after scoring, his attempted overhead kick from a cross was deflected into his own net by a scrambling Marko Jankovic, doubling Napoli's advantage. This own goal sealed the victory for Napoli, putting them on seven points in the Champions League and marking a much-needed return to form.
