Napoli vs Arezzo Match Day Recap: Pre-Season Friendly Shock Ends in 2-0 Defeat

,
Napoli, the reigning Italian champions, faced an unexpected 2-0 defeat in their pre-season friendly against Serie C side Arezzo in Dimaro. The match marked the debut of star signing Kevin De Bruyne for Napoli, who impressed but could not influence the scoreline. Despite dominant possession and multiple scoring opportunities, Napoli was penalized with a penalty goal conceded in the 38th minute and a late counterattack goal in stoppage time sealed the surprising loss.

Key chances from Lorenzo Lucca and David Neres hit the post, while Arezzo’s goalkeeper Trombini stood out with critical saves. Coach Antonio Conte tested multiple players throughout the game, signaling tactical experiments amid preparations for the new season.

Napoli’s next friendly match is scheduled against Catanzaro on July 26 in the same venue, continuing their pre-season campaign.
