Meireles sets up Shelvey to strike from distance, but it doesn't get past the Napoli defence.

Aronica is very lucky to still be on the pitch, after a horrible challenge on Ngog. Not even a booking!

Spearing and Shelvey combine, with the latter testing his luck first time. It's a poor effort though, and well wide.

Pazienza knocks a long ball forward in hope for Cavani, but nothing comes from it, as Mazzarri must make a change in attack, if he wants to win this match.
