Three goals in the first half forAntonio Conte’s team, with Ngonge’s double and Juan Jesus’s,with the result then completed in the second half by Neres andMcTominay. It only took eight minutes for Napoli to take the lead, with Sirigu puncturing a diving intervention on Ngonge’s central shot that thus ended up in the net. Azzurri advantage that becomes double at 12′, again with Ngonge, protagonist in the descent on the left lane that ends with the cross shot that beats Sirigu again. Napoli’s double ring, however, did not diminish the pressure on Dionisi’s men, who were nevertheless dangerous at 29′, with the post hit by Brunori’s shot and the subsequent tap-in by Le Douaron, who kicked high with Caprile out of the goal but from a position too defiladed. Extemporaneous flash by the Sicilians, with Napoli’s third goal coming in 42′: it was Neres’ corner taken from the right side on which Juan Jesus’ header impinged on the ball made it 3-0.
