Half-Time Report: Jonathan de Guzman fires Swansea City level against Napoli

Jonathan de Guzman's 30th-minute goal gives Swansea City a vital away goal against Napoli in the Europa League round of 32.

Swansea City are on course for a place in the last 16 of the Europa League after scoring a vital away goal in the Stadio San Paulo to draw level against Napoli.

The first chance of the second leg fell to the visitors as Pablo Hernandez slipped in Marvin Emnes, with the striker's dinked effort being saved off the line by Raul Albiol.

Moments later Napoli had a chance of their own to take the lead, with Goran Pandev receiving the ball off Gonzalo Higuain before moving into space and returning the ball to his teammate, only for Higuain to miss the target from a promising position.

Napoli did score the first goal of the tie on the 16-minute mark, however, as Lorenzo Insigne lifted the ball over Michele Vorm after being played onside by Dwight Tiendalli, who raced out to try to play the winger offside.

Despite the setback, the Swans hit back with a goal of their own after 30 minutes courtesy of Jonathan de Guzman, who struck past Pepe Reina after exploiting a big gap in the Napoli defence to level the contest.
