The adjectives are simply finished. Spalletti's team is close to perfection. The offensive game is overflowing as usual, but the defensive phase also presents an important solidity. The game is unlocked almost immediately thanks to Osimhen, very good at freeing himself in the area after a touch from Kvaratskhelia. The first 15 minutes are perfect: high and total pressing, goal opportunities and zero suffering in Meret's area. Then a few minutes in which Sassuolo pushes forward and almost equalizes with Pinamonti, but the Azzurri respond almost immediately. The Nigerian striker scores his personal brace, making the most of Kvaratskhelia's individual action.
After the double lead, Sassuolo once again went ahead but Meret closed the door twice, first on Thorstvedt and then on Laurienté. But just like on the occasion of Osimhen's initial lead and the immediate reaction of the guests, also in this case Napoli pushed Sassuolo back with Kvaratskhelia's 3-0, perfectly set up by Mario Rui, with his sixth assist in the championship.
In the second half Meret was once again the protagonist with several decisive saves on the Neroverdi attackers. But the real star of the match was Osimhen, author of a space hat-trick, very good at exploiting a mistake in Sassuolo's build-up. Little else to add except other chances for the Azzurri to round off the result.
The numbers of this Napoli are frightening. The road is still very long, but today in Serie A there is a practically perfect team. Spalletti's band rises to 32 points while waiting for the other teams that will take the field.
