"In terms of technique, this is not our best game. They have a very good game organization and have prepared themselves for this match," said Raspadori.

Followed by the Italian national team striker, "We knew we would face a difficult match. Winning a game like this is clearly very meaningful. Moreover, we won away matches in the Champions League," said Raspadori.

In that match, Union Berlin dominated the game more. Especially in the first 45 minutes. However, the hosts could not take advantage of every opportunity to convert into goals.

Napoli actually played better in the second half and controlled the game. They were finally able to score through Raspadori in the 65th minute.

The goal began when winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who penetrated on the left then fired a pass at Raspadori who then broke into Union Berlin's goal in the 65th minute.
