Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Naples
23' - 45'+2' | First Half Continues
The match restarted at the 24th minute and Napoli maintained their aggressive press, and Atalanta tried to build from the back but every pass felt rushed because blue shirts closed space immediately.
Musso rolled the ball to Tolói at the 26th minute and the center-back took two touches before playing it square to Demiral, but Osimhen's pressure forced the pass to come quicker than intended and the ball reached Demiral with less accuracy.
Demiral controlled it and looked up for options while Politano sprinted toward him from the right wing, and the Italian defender played it back to Musso who immediately launched a long ball toward Højlund.
The pass was too long and Napoli's center-back Kim Min-jae headed it clear with authority, and the ball dropped to Lobotka in midfield who controlled it calmly before the cycle began again.
