Napoli eased into the knockout stages of the Champions League with two first-half goals in a 2-0 home win over Braga on Tuesday.
The Italian side finished second, eight points behind Real Madrid in Group C, on 10 points, while Braga held on to third place and Europa League football with four points. Union Berlin lost 3-2 to Real Madrid and finished bottom on two points.
Napoli’s opening goal came in the ninth minute when Matteo Politano’s cross into the box was turned into his own goal by Serdar Saatci.
Napoli, who could afford to lose by one goal, wrapped up qualification in the 33rd minute when Victor Osimhen back heeled a Natan cross and then managed to nudge the loose ball into the net, leaving Braga needing to score four without reply.
