Napoli 4 Ajax 2: Lozano and Osimhen score as high-flying Italians romp to memorable win and seal place in last 16


NAPOLI kept up their 100% record in the Champions League group phase and secured progress to the knockout stages by beating Ajax Amsterdam 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 Napolis fourth in the final minute.

Napolis 12-point haul means they are guaranteed a top-two finish in Group A, having scored 17 goals in four matches.
