Napoli is one of the most exciting teams in the league, they debut against Man United.
Napoli is one of the top contenders to lift the trophy at the end of the season, with a team full of stars like Diego Armando Maradona, Ciro Ferrara, Fernando de Napoli or Careca. On the other hand, Man United will be missing Bryan Robson through injury but will see the debut of Armando, the right back on loan from At. Madrid.
The Italians gave no chance to the Red Devils in San Paolo. By the 11th minute, Diego Maradona had scored a brace and had sent a penalty kick to the right post of Jim Leighton's goal. Man United had no response to the runs down the right by Ciro Ferrara and Napoli extended their lead when Giovanni Francini met another cross from Ferrara on the 32nd minute. With the match controlled, Napoli lifted the foot off the accelerator and let the minutes go by. Carnevale sent the ball to the crossbar but the amount of chances decreased dramatically in the 2nd half. Man United's only shot on goal came on a run by Gordon Strachan but it was saved without problems by Giuliano Giuliani.
