Despite playing away from home, Mazzarri stuck to their favored 3-4-3 tactic.
The moment Alexandre Song received the ball, Cavani had already rushed in front of him. The Cameroon Midfielder immediately trapped the ball, turned around, and passed it back to the defensive line.
Subotic passed laterally to Koscielny, but the France center-back immediately returned it to Subotic. The latter took a touch forward, shook off Cavani, and beating Lavezzi to the ball, distributed it out to the right flank.
Lichsteiner received the ball tight against the right touchline. However, seeing Naples rapidly retreating to defend, he immediately passed it back to Subotic. Subotic exchanged the ball with Alexandre Song again but still couldn't find an open route. Spotting Aaron Ramsey dropping back, he immediately sent a through ball.
