(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 21 - Napoli were the only Italian team to win their opening Champions League match this week when a spectacular own goal in the closing stages by Braga's Sikou Niakate gave them a 2-1 win in Portugal on Wednesday.
    Captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo had put Rudi Garcia's side in front in the Group C clash but Bruma had equalised for the hosts.
    In Group D, Inter, the competition's runners-up last season, drew 1-1 at Real Sociedad thanks to a late strike by Lautaro Martinez after Brais Mendez had scored an early goal for the Basque side.
    On Tuesday seven-time European champions drew 0-0 with Newcastle United at San Siro in Group F and Lazio tied 1-1 with Atletico Madrid in Rome in Group E. (ANSA).
