Good effort! Mwepu tries his luck from around 35 yards out, but it flies just wide of the Napoli goal. Meret didn't see it until late and had to scramble across his goal just in case.

There will be a minimum of THREE minutes added time played at the end of the second half.
Another Llorente chance! Callejon whips a lovely ball into the penalty area, which is met by Llorente at the near post. He powers his header towards goal, but he can't get it on target and goes well wide of the Salzburg goal.

There are just five minutes of normal time remaining and Napoli are about to bring on Llorente in an attempt to win the game.
81'
Liverpool are currently beating Genk 2-1 in the other Group E game, which means that if Napoli can score another goal here, they would qualify for the knockout stages. Salzburg could still qualify for the next round, but their hopes of qualification are slim with just a point tonight.
79'
Another Insigne chance! The ball falls nicely to the Napoli skipper, he tries to curl it into the back of the net, but it goes well over the bar.
77'
There's less than 15 minutes remaining here between Napoli and Salzburg, can either side nick a late winner? Napoli certainly look the more likely at the moment.

Hwang finds space at the far post as Kristensen whips a deep cross into the penalty area and Hwang takes the shot on the volley first time, but he powers it over the crossbar.
65'
The distribution out from the back for Salzburg has been poor since the break, they are struggling to get out of their own half as Haaland and Hwang are just having to chase balls down.

CLOSE! Lozano with a powerful drive from the edge of the penalty area, it flies over the crossbar by inches, with Carlos nowhere near it. That would've been a terrific goal.

H. Lozano has scored a goal for Napoli! Assist by L. Insigne.
43'
There was a question of handball against Insigne as the loose ball fell into his path, but nothing is given and the Napoli skipper then lays the ball off to Lozano, who produced a fine finish.
GOOOAAALLL! Napoli are level, it's 1-1! Lozano with his first Napoli goal since joining the club in the summer. Insigne picks up a loose ball in midfield, he sprints forward and then lays it out to Lozano, who just manages to stay onside, he cuts in from the left and fires a low strike from the edge of the penalty area, straight into the bottom corner, out of the reach of Carlos.
41'
There's just a few minutes remaining on the clock now until the half-time whistle, can Napoli find an equalising goal before the break? Or, will Salzburg manage to extend their advantage?
39'
The home supporters are starting to get frustrated at how long Carlos is taking with his goal-kicks, surely it's too early for him to be timewasting?

29'
As we approach the half an hour mark here, it remains Salzburg who lead 1-0 after Haaland's goal from the penalty spot after 11 minutes. Napoli look the better team at the moment, keeping the ball well, but Salzburg are defending in numbers and not allowing them many opportunities in their final third.
27'
P. Zieliński gets yellow.
Zielinski is the first Napoli player to be booked, after he slides in on Kristensen and catches the Salzburg man late.

Lovely quick passes between Hwang and Haaland, they work the ball well from midfield and get into the Napoli penalty area, but Hwang just can't reach the final pass and Meret rushes off his line to gather.
22'
The two Napoli wingers, Insigne and Callejon are causing all sorts of problems down the flanks for the hosts, with Salzburg unable to get players out quickly enough to them, as they constantly get balls into the penalty area.
20'
The game has settled down slightly now, with Napoli just keeping the ball nicely in midfield and aren't pushing too high up the pitch in search of an equaliser.
16'
Close! Another good chance for Salzburg, this time it is Wober, after he meets a corner delivery by Szoboszlai and tries to volley the ball into the far corner of the net. However, it flies just wide of the post.
15'
What a start to the game by both teams, somehow it is only 1-0 to Salzburg, despite excellent goalscoring chances for both teams. Surely this game has plenty more twists and turns in store.
11'
Penalty goal scored by E. Haaland for Salzburg!
GOOOAAALLL! Haaland converts from the penalty spot, Salzburg lead 1-0! That's Haaland's seventh goal of the Champions League campaign, he sends Meret the wrong way, sliding the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.

Decent effort! Szoboszlai goes for goal from long range, it's a powerful strike, but Rui gets across and makes the block.

3'
Scrappy start to the game by both teams, with Napoli just edging the possession, but neither team are able to keep hold of it and are giving away some sloppy free-kicks in the middle of the pitch.

We're under way!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Group E Champions League clash between Napoli and Salzburg.
These two sides met in Group E just two weeks ago in Austria, with Napoli running out 3-2 winners, moving top of the group. However, since then Napoli have failed to win a game, with back-to-back draws and then a 2-1 defeat against Roma in Serie A at the weekend.
Meanwhile Salzburg sit third in the group, with three points, three behind Liverpool and four behind Napoli. The Austrian side are back in good form, with three wins out of three and they sit top of the Austrian Bundesliga.
NAPOLI (4-4-2): Alex Meret; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Kalidou Koulibaly, Nikola Maksimovic, Mario Rui; Jose Callejon, Fabian Ruiz, Piotr Zielinski, Lorenzo Insigne; Dries Mertens, Hirving Lozano
NAPOLI SUBS: Sebastiano Luperto, David Ospina, Fernando Llorente, Elseid Hysaj, Arkadiusz Milik, Eljif Elmas, Kostas Manolas.
SALZBURG SUBS: Enock Mwepu, Andre Ramalho, Majeed Ashimeru, Sekou Koita, Patson Daka, Philip Kohn, Albert Vallci.
The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is just a few minutes away, stay tuned for all of the match action!
The game has been played at a terrific pace, with some excellent play by both teams, as shown by the amount of chances we've seen so far. Napoli will be wondering how they aren't ahead at the break. Insigne is one player who has had numerous chances for the Italians and he has been involved in everything going forward.
That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
Napoli missed the chance to secure qualification today, with Liverpool beating Genk but Ancelotti's men failing to hold up their side of the bargain. Salzburg still have a slim chance of qualification but only have four points from four games. Napoli will return to Serie A action on Saturday, to face Genoa. Whilst Salzburg will face Wolfsberg in the Austrian Bundesliga.
