SSC Napoli vs RC Celta de Vigo

Napoli and Celta Vigo shared the points in a lively pre-season friendly that ended 1-1, with the hosts squandering an early lead they had looked comfortable holding. After dominating the opening exchanges, Napoli appeared set for another summer win, but Celta's second-half response ensured honors were even by the final whistle. Giovanni Di Lorenzo put Napoli ahead in the 11th minute, capping a bright start in which the Azzurri controlled possession and territory. Celta Vigo grew into the game after the break and drew level in the 64th minute through Ferran Jutglà, who capitalized after mix-ups involving goalkeeper Alex Meret and midfielder Kevin De Bruyne gifted the Spaniards possession in a dangerous area. Both sides made changes throughout, but neither could find a winner despite five added minutes at the end. For Napoli, it's a mixed result after their recent win over Osasuna, with defensive lapses giving Antonio Conte something to address before the season starts. Celta Vigo, fresh off thrashing Sassuolo 4-1, will take confidence from their second-half comeback as pre-season progresses.
