First Half: Giroud hits a shot across goal but parried away.
Half Time: 0-0.
Second Half: Goal! 1-0, Higuain puts Napoli ahead after turning past the defence on the edge of the box and strikes a low shot into the bottom corner. Red Card! Arteta is shown a second yellow card. Goal! 2-0, Callejon scores with a lobbed shot over the keeper into the far side.
Full Time: 2-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Higuain. It was a really tense affair in Naples. Not much happened during the first half as both teams were unable to create many chances. However, Napoli scored the opening goal and never looked back. Arteta was sent off before Callejon sealed victory for Napoli in the dying moments. Although Napoli were largely in control of the game, they finished one goal away from a place in the last 16. Arsenal were much better in the first half than in the second. They looked rather tired and lacklustre as the game went on and nearly crashed out. The defeat means Arsenal finish the group in second place.
Chelsea 1 v 0 Steau Bucharesti Ba (11)
First Half: Oscar hits a long range strike just wide of the post. Goal! 1-0, Ba puts Chelsea in front with a close range effort into the top far corner.
Half Time: 1-0.
Second Half: Oscar has a header saved. Ba has a shot saved from close range.
Full Time: 1-0.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Oscar. Chelsea took an early lead and managed to hold on to finish top of the group. It was a job well done by Chelsea who did what they needed to do. Steau did not have anything to play for and it showed. They were outclassed and failed to threaten the Chelsea goal throughout the match.
