Napoli vs Barcelona, Preseason friendly: Final Score 1-2, Neto shines as Barça win first game of US tour

Barcelona started their United States preseason tour with a 2-1 win against Napoli in a highly entertaining match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Despite some defensive issues Barça played a good game, and thanks to a wonderful performance by Neto and some strong attacking play the Blaugrana won their third straight in this preseason.

FIRST HALF

The first half was very entertaining, with both teams looking to attack and pressing each other high up the pitch to force mistakes and create chances. Barça had their opportunities with patient passing and plenty of movement, especially from Griezmann and Riqui Puig, while Napoli looked for long balls in behind Barça’s full-backs to find Callejón, Insigne and Mertens.
