Mohamed Salah, Liverpool Advance to UCL Round of 16 with Win vs. Napoli

Liverpool progressed to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday after securing a 1-0 win over Napoli at Anfield.

Mohamed Salah scored the decisive goal in the 34th minute, finishing from a tight angle after he impressively turned Mario Rui and wriggled past Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Reds missed several chances to build on their lead against the Serie A side, with David Ospina doing well to deny Salah and Sadio Mane in the second half.

Mane also contrived to produce two inexplicable misses from close range, but Napoli were unable to punish their wastefulness in front of goal and will drop into the UEFA Europa League.
