Napoli 4 Ajax 2
Napoli kept up their 100 per cent record in Group A of the Champions League and secured progress to the knock-out stages by beating Ajax 4-2 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Wednesday.
Early goals from Hirving Lozano and Giacomo Raspadori put the Serie A leaders comfortably ahead by the 16-minute mark and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added a second-half penalty after Davy Klaassen had pulled one back for Ajax.
The Dutch club made a desperate bid for a share of the spoils as Steven Bergwijn converted an 83rd-minute penalty to bring the score back to 3-2 but a horror defensive error allowed Victor Osimhen to score Napoli’s fourth in the final minute.
