A spectacular match full of goals at the Diego Armando Maradona, which Napoli unlocked after 19 minutes with a goal from the captain.
Gattuso's team repeats 3 minutes later with a super action concluded by a goal from Osimhen. Crotone, however, does not accept this and closes the gap with the usual Simy, taking advantage of a defensive slumber by the Neapolitans; Mertens on a free kick extends the gap again with a spectacular goal. In the second half, Napoli complicates their life by allowing Crotone to close the gap with Simy and then Maksimovic gives a ball to Messias who scores the temporary equalizer.

Many defensive problems emerged for Gattuso's team, which once again demonstrated that it was unable to fill the gap for Koulibaly's absence. However, the 12 points in the last 4 remain, along with the feeling that the Napoli could reach fourth place.

"I'm happy with my debut but obviously sad about the result, because I wanted to advance with the team. But now it's time to work and look ahead," he said, immediately demonstrating his mentality and sense of team spirit. It wasn't even his first time at the Maradona: "Tuesday was my second time here; I'd already played in this stadium with Sporting in the Champions League. But playing for Napoli is an incredible feeling, feeling the passion of the Neapolitan fans."
