Hojlund's Double Secures Napoli's Victory Over Sporting

Napoli striker Rasmus Hojlund showcased his exceptional talent by scoring twice in the team's 2-1 home victory over Sporting on Wednesday. This match marked a significant turn in Napoli's Champions League campaign, as it secured the host's first points in the competition.

The game, held at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, saw a slow start until the 36th minute when Kevin De Bruyne orchestrated a swift counter-attack, allowing Hojlund to put Napoli in the lead. However, Sporting's Luis Suarez equalized with a penalty kick in the 62nd minute.

The decisive moment came 11 minutes from full-time when De Bruyne and Hojlund combined forces once more to secure the winning goal for Napoli. A late save by goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic ensured the victory, advancing both teams to three points each in the group stage.
