Italian side Napoli has moved into second place in their Champions League Group F on Wednesday with a 3-2 win over French side Marseille at Sao Paolo.

The victory led Rafael Benitez's side into the second place at nine points, level with leaders Arsenal after they won at Borussia Dortmund.

According to Sport24, Napoli player Gonzalo Higuain scored twice, with his second goal shot with 15 minutes remaining to settle the contest.

The report mentioned that Florian Thauvin had levelled for Marseille on 64 minutes after two brilliantly-taken goals from Napoli's Gokhan Inler and Higuain in as many first-half minutes had cancelled out Andre Ayew's headed opener for the French side.

 

Marseille's fourth straight defeat means they will finish bottom of the group, the report added.
