Napoli drew 1-1 with Hungarian top flight side Zalaegerszeg, although were unlucky when German Denis thumped the post.
The Azzurri wanted a stern test ahead of Sunday's Intertoto Cup clash with Panionios and went to this team because the Hungarian League kicks off on July 27.
Meye set up the opener for Waltner on the half-hour mark and five minutes later wasted the chance to make it 2-0, blasting a penalty over the bar for Amodio's foul on Toth.
Inacio Pia wasted a good opportunity to equalise and eventually secured a draw for Napoli just before the break.
The Argentine gathered Roberto De Zerbi's pass and skipped round the goalkeeper to deposit into an empty net.
Summer signing Denis was again impressive, as he took part in a splendid team move that forced the Hungarian shot-stopper into a great save on Christian Maggio.
In the final minutes Denis nodded a free kick on to the upright.
“I am satisfied with the way the team has grown and progressed tactically,” said Coach Edy Reja.
“We are starting to have a good tempo, get the shape and movement of the side right and the correct positions on the pitch.
“It is a positive performance that allows us to look forward with optimism.”
Napoli first half: Gianello, Santacroce, Rinaudo, Savini, Montervino, Pazienza, Amodio, Dalla Bona, Grava, Pià, De Zerbi
Napoli second half: Iezzo, Rinaudo, Cannavaro, Contini, Maggio, Blasi, Gargano, Hamsik, Vitale, Bogliacino, Denis
