In Portugal, Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen was in action for 90 minutes as he helped Napoli overcome Sporting Braga 2-1 in Group C.

The Italian side led 1-0 until the 84th minute when Braga found the equaliser. Having the press, Braga pushed for a winner but a disappointing owngoal four minutes after, condemned them to a defeat.
