Footballing great Maradona, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 60, was revered in Naples after a seven-year stay from 1984-1991 where he led the side to two Serie A titles and a UEFA Cup.
All the Napoli squad wore a 'Maradona 10' shirt before kick-off and Maradona's face was shown on the big screen throughout the entire match.
On the night, goals from Matteo Politano and Hirving Lozano secured a comfortable win for the Italians against their Croatian opponents, putting them top of Group F.
It's been gathered that Napoli's president Aurelio de Laurentiis confirmed the club are considering re-naming their stadium after Maradona.
Thousands of fans were spotted outside the stadium as they paid tribute to their football hero.
