- 90'+3'That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
- 90'+3'The Italian side are top of Group E on seven points, whilst Salzburg are third with three points. Napoli return to Serie A action on Sunday, they face Atalanta, meanwhile Salzburg will face Rapid Wien on Sunday in the Austrian Bundesliga.
- 90'+3'FULL-TIME: SALZBURG 2-3 NAPOLI
- 90'+2'Decent effort! Napoli defend a corner well, the ball then falls straight to Minamino on the edge of the penalty area, who volleys it back towards goal. However, his wild effort flies high over the crossbar.
- 90'There will be a minimum of THREE minutes added time played.
- 89'Llorente is booked after a collision with Junuzovic and the arm of the striker flies into the face of the midfielder.
- 89'Late substitution for Salzburg, Mwepu comes off and he has been replaced by Koita.
- 88'Just a couple of minutes remaining, plus any stoppage time. Napoli are defending well and Salzburg have been unable to test Meret in the visitors goal.
- 86'Liverpool are still ahead in the other Group E game, it's now 4-1, so as it stands Napoli will remain top of the group with seven points.
- 84'Napoli are sitting deep, getting everyone back behind the ball and soaking up the pressure, then trying to break forward quickly on the counter when they do win back possession.
- 82'There is less than 10 minutes left on the clock now, can Salzburg work another opportunity and level the scoreline?
- 80'Third and final Napoli change, with Callejon replaced by Elmas.
- 76'Another Napoli substitution and it's Mertens who is coming off and he has been replaced by Llorente.
- 75'What a game this is turning into, are there any more twists and turns left? Salzburg need to come from behind once again now.
- 73'Mertens goes past Malcuit on the overlap and then spots the run of Insigne in the penalty area, who still has a lot to do as he beats his marker and then fires the ball home.
- 73'GOOOAAALLL! Napoli make it 3-2 less than a minute after conceding! Insigne with a wonderful touch and finish in the box. Mertens this time turns provider, drilling a low ball towards Insigne on the edge of the six-yard box, who controls it and then drills it past Carlos.
- 72'Junuzovic saw his corner delivery well defended, but Napoli fail to deal with the second cross, which lands perfectly on the head of Haaland, who makes no mistake with the finish.
- 72'GOOOAAALLL! Haaland equalises again for Salzburg, it's 2-2! It's a superb ball into the ball box by Junuzovic after Napoli deal with the first corner, but fail to close down the second cross. Haaland is completely unmarked and powers his header past Meret and into the back of the net.
- 70'In the other Group E game being played tonight, Liverpool are beating Genk 2-0 in Belgium.
- 68'Another Salzburg change now, with Daka the man heading off the pitch and he has been replaced by Ashimeru.
- 65'Napoli make their first substitution of the game, with Lozano coming off and he has been replaced by Insigne.
- 64'GOOOAAALLL! Napoli take the lead again, it's 2-1! Mertens with his second goal of the game. Malcuit gets down the right wing and has time and space to pick out Mertens at the far post in the box, who slides the ball into the back of the night from close range. Poor marking by the hosts.
- 63'The crowd are trying to get the game going again, creating a wonderful atmosphere, but the pace has dropped and we're lacking quality in front of goal.
- 61'Still no changes for Napoli lined up, but they have plenty of firepower on the bench to try and score another goal, with Milik and Insigne available.
- 59'Decent effort! Ruiz with a good strike from the edge of the penalty area, aiming for the far corner of the net. However, it doesn't have enough pace on it to test Carlos and it goes wide anyway.
- 58'Still no goalscoring chances for either side in the second half, they are both unable to keep the ball for a sustained period inside the final third of the pitch at the moment.
- 56'The Salzburg manager, Jesse Marsch, has just been booked on the sidelines for his complaints at a decision against his side.
- 54'Mwepu has just got his final warning from the referee, after another foul, this time on Mertens. The next foul he commits will probably lead to a yellow card.
- 53'Good effort! Daka with a spectacular diving header from distance, after Wober whipped a low cross into the penalty area. Daka meets it and powers the ball towards goal, but it flies well wide.
- 50'The visitors have just managed to settle the game down, slow the pace and string a few passes together, after a frantic few opening minutes by Salzburg. It certainly could be another lively half if the first period is anything to go by.
- 48'Salzburg have started the second half really well, pushing forward in numbers and testing this Napoli defence again already.
- 45'+2'Haaland is booked and it is a silly booking to pick up, after a late push on Luperto right on the touchline.
- 46'The second half is under way!
- 45'+5'It's been a lively contest between two very attacking teams, with Meret having a superb game in goal for Napoli, he has pulled off numerous saves to deny Haaland and Daka, before being beaten from the spot.
- 45'+5'HALF-TIME: SALZBURG 1-1 NAPOLI
- 45'+4'The game has just slowed down in the last couple of minutes as we almost reach half-time. Neither side are pushing forward in search of another goal at the end of the half.
- 45'There will be a minimum of FIVE minutes added time played.
- 44'There's not long left on the clock until the break now, can either side nick another goal before the half-time whistle?
- 40'GOOOAAALLL! Salzburg are back level, it's 1-1! Haaland sends Meret the wrong way from the penalty spot, to score his fifth Champions League goal of the season.
- 39'Malcuit is also booked for his foul that gave away the penalty.
- 38'The first yellow card of the game is shown to Lozano after he drags Hwang to the ground in the middle of the pitch, as Salzburg break forward quickly on the counter.
- 35'The visitors have dropped off the pace since going 1-0 up, they are sitting back and are allowing Salzburg time and space on the ball.
- 33'Here is the enforced substitution, with Stankovic coming off and he has been replaced by Carlos, to make just his second Salzburg appearance.
- 30'Mertens tries his luck from long range, trying to catch Stankovic off his line, however, the ball flies well wide of the goal. Unfortunately for Salzburg though, Stankovic appears to have pulled a muscle in sprinting back.
- 29'Salzburg have certainly grown into the game now and it's them who are putting their opponents under pressure at the back. Napoli are struggling to cope with Hwang and Haaland at the moment.
- 23'The visitors are doing an excellent job of numbing the attacking talents of Salzburg, keeping the ball well and making them sit deep and soak up the pressure.
- 21'The game is struggling to flow at the moment, with a few fouls in the middle of the pitch, which is breaking up proceedings. Napoli look pretty comfortable so far.
- 19'Salzburg aren't used to going behind at home, they are a formidable force and won't change their style of play despite going a goal down.
- 17'The Napoli skipper, Callejon, looked up and spotted the run of Mertens, who had peeled away from his marker and found space in the box.
- 17'GOOOAAALLL! Napoli take the lead, it's 1-0! Fantastic turn and pass by Callejon, playing a quick ball to Mertens who pulled off to the right of the penalty area and then lashed the ball into the back of the net from a tight angle, beating Stankovic at his near post.
- 15'Good tackle! Malcuit with a superb sliding challenge on Hwang, to deny the striker a shot at goal from a tight angle. The resulting corner comes to nothing.
- 10'Haaland seemed to realise that he was in an offside position as he scored, as the striker didn't show much emotion during the celebrations and had no complaints when the referee overuled the decision.
- 7'It's electric inside the Red Bull Arena, the home fans are creating a formidable atmosphere, urging their team forward already.
- 5'Napoli are enjoying the early possession, but the hosts are playing a very high press and then trying to break forward on the counter when they do manage to get on the ball.
- 3'The game is being played at a frantic pace in these early few minutes, both teams showing a lot of urgency to press forward and attack.
- 1'We're under way!
- 0'Napoli are unbeaten in their opening two Champions League games, beating Liverpool 2-0, before a goalless draw with Genk, but they sit top of Group E. The visitors are currently fourth in Serie A, securing a 2-0 success over Hellas Verona at home.
