Pre-season match report: RCD Mallorca 1-1 Napoli

We remain unbeaten so far this pre-season with a draw in Italy

We remain unbeaten in pre-season as we were held to a 1-1 draw against Napoli at the Stadio Teofilo Patini.

Javier Aguirre continued with the back five formation used throughout our preparations for the new campaign in what was our penultimate pre-season fixture.

We couldn’t have wished for a worse start as the Italians were awarded a penalty early on after José Copete was adjudged to have handled the ball.

Osimhen made no mistake from the spot to give Napoli the lead in the ninth minute.

Despite the early action, chances were few and far between as both sides struggled to create in the final third.

We were soon on level terms after the restart as Antonio Raíllo equalised with an unstoppable header in the 55th minute.

The Italians had a late chance to snatch the win, but we held on to maintain our unbeaten pre-season form ahead of our final fixture against UD Ibiza on August 7.
