The second goal came in the 74th minute and it started with chaos in Napoli's defensive third when Højlund pressed Rrahmani aggressively as the center-back received from Meret.
Rrahmani's touch was heavy under pressure and the ball bounced awkwardly, and when he tried to play it back to his goalkeeper Højlund intercepted with his outstretched leg before the pass could reach its target.
The Danish striker controlled it quickly and drove toward goal as Meret rushed out to narrow the angle, though Kim Min-jae recovered with desperate speed to provide cover.
Højlund's shot came quickly—right foot aimed toward the near post—but Meret saved it strongly and the rebound spilled toward the edge of the penalty area where Napoli players scrambled to clear.
Zielinski reached it first and attempted to hoof it upfield, though his clearance was blocked by Zapata's body and the ball ricocheted back toward midfield where Demien had positioned himself anticipating the second ball.
