Napoli snatch a precious win over Liverpool in the Champions League

* Napoli won 2-0 at Liverpool.

The princes of the South hosted the Champions League at the Sao Paulo Stadium for the opening round of the group stage of the prestigious European competition.

The first half of Group E's top game ended in a goalless draw between the two teams, and the score lasted until 82 minutes, when the well-known German referee Felix Brech awarded a penalty for the home side after Jose Caijon was blocked in the penalty area by Andy Robertson.

Belgian superstar Dries Mertens made it to the penalty spot and managed to turn it into a goal, despite Adrian's attempt to save the ball as he actually touched it but could not stop the goal.

In the second minute of injury time, the Spaniard and former Spurs player Fernando Llorente added the second goal for Napoli, taking advantage of a defensive error on the part of the Reds, from his first shot against the goal of the Liverpool and the 14th touch of the ball

With this result, Napoli, the Austrian Red Bull Salzburg, are at the top of the group table, but the latter outperforms thanks to the goal difference after a landslide victory over the Belgian Genk six-party
