Rangers 0-3 Napoli: dismissal and penalty decide victory in Glasgow

THE ranger She withstood Napoli’s beatings for about an hour, but when the penalties and cards started, she collapsed. The Italians found the winning goals with 3-0 for the 2nd matchday of the 1st group of the Champions League and got 2/2.

The game was played a day late in Scotland on Tuesday due to the public display of Queen Elizabeth’s body. Before the Cross, the organization’s anthem was not heard over the loudspeakers, and neither was the UK, despite the willingness of the Scots. At the end he was sung by the fans, who also prepared an impressive choreo that started the game in this atmosphere.

Napoli did not shy away from the home side’s ritual and grabbed them by the “neck” in the opening minutes of the game. Opportunities followed one another, with the common component of their failure. Both Giovani Simeone and Hvitsa Kvaratthelia missed the goal with their last effort, but they scared the home side enough to carry the game into their own half.

In the 2nd half everything changed in the 55th minute when James Sands was penalized and sent off with a second yellow card, two minutes after the first he received in the game. Piotr Zielinski was beaten by Alan McGregor but Mathew Laoth missed a replay after players from both teams entered the penalty area before the free-kick. The Pole converted again, the Scot saved again and play continued.

Minutes later, a hand from Borna Barisic sent the Italians back on target. Matteo Politano took over the execution this time and beat the 40-year-old goalkeeper. This goal determined the outcome of the game, with Giacomo Raspadori in the 85th minute and Tangi Ndomebele in added time making it 3-0, making “Partenopei” absolute favorites to qualify from the 1st group.
