Five out of five: Luciano Spalletti's Napoli returns to the top of the Serie A table and responds "present" to the calls of Milan and Inter, remaining the only team with a perfect record.
Only two changes were made by the Certaldo coach compared to the starting eleven that took to the field against Udinese. From the 1st minute there is Lozano, preferred to Politano, while Zielinski takes his place in the three-quarter line for Elmas. Rrahmani confirmed at the center of the defense, another shift on the bench for Manolas.
Napoli starts at full speed, with an unleashed Osimhen: the Nigerian first wastes the opportunity to make it 1-0 in the 6th minute, then scores the goal to give them the lead a few minutes later. The assist is from Insigne, who serves the number 9 with a cross into the area that is then split into the net with Audero unable to hold on. Sampdoria tries to react and make themselves seen going forward: chances for Adrien Silva and Yoshida, both parried by Ospina. The Azzurri defend and find the second goal that virtually closes the match in the 39th minute: Lozano serves Insigne who passes to Fabian Ruiz, the Spaniard strikes first and scores with a perfect low shot. The break goes like this: 2-0 for the Neapolitans in Genoa.
The second half opens with perhaps the only positive news of the evening: Rrahmani's injury, replaced by Manolas. Fabian's goal, however, has practically extinguished Sampdoria's enthusiasm. Napoli enters the field with the same attitude as in the first 45 minutes: it takes just 5 minutes for Osimhen to make it 3-0 and the brace. Zielinski serves Lozano who passes the ball into the area: the Nigerian's positioning is perfect, and he unloads into an empty net. The fourth goal comes in the 59th minute: Anguissa slaloms on the edge of the area, the ball again for Lozano who this time finds Zielinski. The Pole's shot is perfect and the ball ends up in the net for 4-0.
Napoli now have 15 points in the standings: again +2 on Inter and Milan, full points confirmed. Next opponent Cagliari: appointment Sunday at 20.45:XNUMX, with the Neapolitans returning to Maradona after more than a week.
