NAPLES (Reuters) - Feyenoord's naivety after a 15-year Champions League absence was cruelly exposed once more on Tuesday as Napoli pounced on the Dutch side's mistakes and cruised to a comfortable 3-1 victory, coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said. Defensive mistakes led to all three Napoli goals and Jens Toornstra also missed a penalty when the Dutch champions were 2-0 down with a little more than 20 minutes to play. Captain Karim El Ahmadi said mistakes at Champions League level were quickly punished. "We were too naive at times but we can't dwell on that too long, we must move on," the Moroccan midfielder said. The Dutch champions next play Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk at home on Oct. 17.
