Napoli present new signings Gonzalo Higuain and Pepe Reina to home fans before last night's 3-1 win over Galatasaray at the San Paolo Stadium.

Napoli unveiled new signings Gonzalo Higuain and Pepe Reina in a presentation before last night's 3-1 friendly win over Galatasaray.

Both players wore Napoli shirts as they were shown off to the San Paolo Stadium, but were unable to play in the match due to a delay in receiving international clearance.

Plans for a celebration in Naples featuring fireworks were cancelled shortly before the match as a sign of respect for the lives lost during last weekend's bus crash in southern Italy.

When play got underway, Rafael Benitez's side earned an impressive victory, courtesy of goals from Goran Pandev, Juan Camilo Zuniga and Lorenzo Insigne.

Zuniga was loudly booed when he came on after rumours of a bid from Juventus last week, but won the home crowd after rounding the goalkeeper for Napoli's second goal on 81 minutes.

Insigne's stoppage-time penalty secured Benitez his first win as Napoli coach, with attention now turning to London and the Emirates Cup this weekend.
