Meret: 6. He makes no mistakes on his way out, and Braga won't worry him too much, as they end the match with two shots on target and he makes just one save. Bruma surprises him with a beautiful header in the box, but the mistake is the defense's, leaving him alone: he's blameless.
By Lorenzo: 7,5. The man of the match: he almost scored with a header in the 10th minute, but found the net in the 45th minute with a volley that was a bit sloppy, but which went in under the crossbar.
In the second half, his team's pace slowed, he fell back and made important interventions in defence to bring home the result.
Rrahmani: sv. He touches just 8 balls, then he stops due to a physical problem: evidently it is the same problem that kept him out of the match in Genoa (from the 13th minute Ostigard: 5,5. Good start with a save on Abel Ruiz, then he visibly swerves on several occasions. He is to blame for the equaliser in a shocking finale for the Azzurri).
Juan Jesus: 5. It starts off in a decent way, then the second half is all uphill: a couple of lapses until the most serious one of all, on Bruma's equalising goal.
In the final minutes, after Niakatè's own goal, the Portuguese attacked from all sides and created danger after danger: luck saved them.
Olivera: 5,5. He pushes all over the pitch without creating any danger or opportunities to report going forward, while in the defensive phase he concedes a little too much. He is not free from blame on the occasion of Bruma's equaliser and in the final stages he risks sinking together with the rest of the defence.
Anguissa: 5. It is the symbol of a Napoli in constant difficulty in this first part of the season.
Unrecognizable, no longer as dominant as his fans had been accustomed to, late on many balls and on some occasions even lost balls in dangerous areas due to bad passes or clearances.
Lobotka: 6.

Zielinski: 6. Lots of running and sacrifice, but a few too many balls lost at the start.
In the second half he then grows in the goal area. First he wastes a one-on-one with Matheus, then he makes up for it with the play that is worth the clumsy own goal by Niakatè that gives the three points to the Azzurri (from the 90th minute Nathan: sv).
Politano: 6. Some errors in precision in the passes, but two important chances in the first half still came from his feet.
The most dangerous is the conclusion that leads to the penalty, later revoked by VAR. He leaves the game as the minutes pass (from 66' Raspadori: sv).
Osimhen: 7. He doesn't find the goal only due to pure bad luck.
First he missed a one-on-one, then in the 10th minute Matheus cleared his header on the goal line. On the half-hour mark he hit the crossbar from outside the box, then had a hand in Di Lorenzo's goal.
In the second half another goal was almost scored from outside (from the 90th minute Simeon: sv).
kvaratskhelia: 6,5. He appears to be improving in condition. His performance in the offensive zone is positive: some of his team's main chances arise or originate from his feet, including the move that led to Di Lorenzo's goal.
In the second half he tried a volley from a difficult position, the only shot on goal of his match: just wide (from 66' Elmas: sv).
