Friendly | Napoli 2-1 Osasuna: Politano and Lucca score in victory
Matteo Politano and Lorenzo Lucca were on target as Max Allegri's Napoli beat LaLiga side Osasuna 2-1 in today's friendly test.

Allegri continued to set his team out in a 4-3-3 formation , and started Michael Folorunsho despite the fact he is on the market.
Romelu Lukaku is still in Belgium , and it's reported he was given another two days off in full agreement with the club.

Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa scuffed a couple of early opportunities, but it was Politano who broke the deadlock, as he met a Leonardo Spinazzola cross at the back post and volleyed it into the roof of the net.

Spinazzola looked sprightly and set up Giovane for a shot that was charged down, then Politano saw his free kick thump the frame of the goal.
Amir Rrahmani prevented Raul Garcia nodding in just before half-time with a desperate defensive header.

Lucca came on for the restart, immediately got a yellow card for elbowing an opponent, then scored when Noa Lang intercepted a wayward clearance, allowing Anguissa to feed the striker.
