The real match: Napoli 0–1 Arsenal

Arsenal won 1–0 away to Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Naples, on 9 September 2026 (Champions League, league phase). A European night in Naples, a home side that has lost three times here in twenty-three attempts, and two goalkeepers determined to stop everything.

Goals

How the match unfolded

HT Half time. Goalless, and Arsenal have had everything. Napoli have absorbed it, and De Bruyne has forced one save from Raya. Meret is struggling with a thigh problem and will not come out for the second half. Arteta has Tzolis, Madueke and Havertz on the bench.

75' Tzolis finds him, and Odegaard drills it off the post and in. At the end of a twenty-nine-pass move, the captain delivers. A low left-footed drive from the edge of the box, in off the far post, and the Maradona falls silent. Superb early-season form, and the goal his side deserved.
