Despite a fiercely contested start, the Spanish club confirmed its invincibility and secured qualification for the round of 16. The match held significant importance for Real Madrid, aiming to clinch the top spot in Group F.

The encounter proved to be open from the outset, with Giovanni Simeone opening the scoring for Napoli in the 9th minute.

 Two minutes later, Rodrygo Goes equalized for the Merengues, followed by a contribution from Jude Bellingham before halftime, giving Real Madrid the advantage.

The second half began with the Spanish team leading by one goal. Despite their dominance, Real Madrid was caught off guard by a personal inspiration from Zambo Anguissa, leveling the score for Napoli.
