Almost the entire second half, the guests played in the minority
Napoli won without problems on his field Sassuolo in the match of the second round of the Italian championship – 2:0.
The score was opened at the 16th minute – Osimhen did it with an accurate kick from the penalty spot. At the beginning of the second half, Sassuolo remained in the minority – Maxim Lopez received a direct red card.
A few minutes later, the Neapolitans got the opportunity to double the advantage – the referee Antonio Giua appointed another penalty in their favor. This time Giacomo Raspadori came up to the point and failed to score. But soon the ball was in the goal of Andrea Consiglia – Giovanni Di Lorenzo scored from Khvichi Kvaratskhelia’s pass.
The win put Napoli in second place. Like Verona and AC Milan, the 2023 Italian champions scored maximum points, but are behind the Rossoneri on goal difference. Sassuolo suffered a second defeat in a row and closes the standings, while not scoring a single one so far.
In the third round, Sassuolo will host Verona on September 1, while Napoli will play Lazio at home the next day.
