Napoli 1-3 Porto - Match report

Emirates Cup 2013

By Isaac Moore

Porto came from behind to beat Napoli 3-1 in the penultimate game of the Emirates Cup.

Goran Pandev put the Italian side in front from the spot three minutes before half-time after Fernando was adjudged to have pushed the forward.

The Portuguese champions equalised in the 52nd minute when Nabil Ghilas poked the ball past Rafael after latching onto Juan Quintero’s slide-rule pass.

Paulo Fonseca’s team then took the lead with just over 20 minutes to go after Federico Fernandez could only divert Silvestre Varela’s cross into his own net.

Substitute Lica added a third after a mistake by Andrea Dossena in the 77th minute.

The result meant Porto finished the tournament on six points, with Napoli ending with four.
