Summary

Napoli claimed a positive 2-1 pre-season victory over Osasuna at Stadio Teofilo Patini. Politano's composed 27th-minute opener and Lucca's clinical 53rd-minute second gave Conte's side a commanding lead before Budimir's penalty set up a nervy but ultimately comfortable conclusion.
Lucca's sharp pre-season integration, his composed turn and precise finish confirming the striker's growing understanding of Conte's system, was the most encouraging individual development of a Napoli performance that also featured promising early signs from new signings working through the tactical demands of their new head coach.
Matteo Politano was the standout performer at 8.0/10; his intelligent near-post opener, constant wide attacking threat, and complete creative involvement throughout confirmed his importance to Conte's system as Napoli's most consistent and reliable attacking outlet heading into the new Serie A campaign.

Stadio Teofilo Patini in Castel di Sangro, Napoli's traditional pre-season base and the venue of some of their most celebrated summer preparations, hosted an encouraging and competitive friendly that gave Conte's squad the winning start their pre-season programme demanded heading into what promises to be an enormously consequential Serie A title challenge.

Matteo Politano's composed 27th-minute opener, his intelligent near-post run and precise first-time finish from Spinazzola's wide delivery confirming the returning winger's sharpness after a strong finish to last season, gave Napoli the early platform their dominant opening period deserved, with Osasuna's organised defensive structure only occasionally breached by the combination play that Conte has been implementing throughout Castel di Sangro's training sessions.

Lucca's composed 53rd-minute second, the towering striker's intelligent hold-up play drawing the Osasuna defence before turning sharply and placing a composed low finish past Herrera from the edge of the area, extended Napoli's lead and confirmed that the summer signing's integration into Conte's system is progressing significantly ahead of schedule.

Budimir's 69th-minute penalty, the Croatian World Cup semi-finalist despatching coolly after Mazzocchi's unnecessary challenge inside the area, gave the LaLiga side a deserved consolation and created a testing final 20 minutes that ultimately confirmed both Napoli's defensive work in progress and the competitive quality that Osasuna's pre-season preparation has already delivered.
