Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: SSC Napoli gets underway.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Christopher Trimmel.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 17' Amir Rrahmani is having his name booked by the referee on 17.
- 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Union Berlin that had 426 games and scored 308 goals.
- 27' SSC Napoli started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
- 32' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 37' It looks surprising SSC Napoli does not make any changes. Robin Knoche has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 42' Frederik Ronnow has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 42 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 46' The whistle greets Jens Cajuste as he departs to be replaced by Eljif Elmas.

- 59' The travelling SSC Napoli supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 64' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 65' SSC Napoli is taking the lead after the goal scored by Giacomo Raspadori on 65.
- 70' 1. FC Union Berlin manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Aissa Laidouni is hanging Brenden Aaronson on the field on 70 minute.
- 71' Another substitution for SSC Napoli to replace Giacomo Raspadori by Giovanni Simeone on 71 minute.
- 76' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 80' Lucas Tousart has so much to prove this time. He replaces Danilho Doekhi on 80 minute.
- 81' The SSC Napoli manager makes a substitution. Matteo Politano departs to be replaced by Jesper Lindstrom.
- 86' It looks like no one’s ball. 1. FC Union Berlin is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 89' Another substitution for SSC Napoli to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia by Leo Ostigard on 89 minute.
- Another three points for SSC Napoli.
