Defending champion Naples did not give details for their first game of the season at home by dominating 2-0 Sassuolo, reduced to ten from the 51st minute of play, Sunday during the second day of the Italian Championship.
Dominant, with a shot on the post in the first minute, Napoli opened the scoring through the inevitable Victor Osimhen (16th) on a penalty, already his third goal of the season.
It took Rudi Garcia’s team to wait for the second half and the exclusion of Maxime Lopez to achieve their domination.
Giacomo Raspadori first missed a penalty (60th), before Giovanni Di Lorenzo, served by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who entered shortly before, doubled the mark (64th) to the delight of the 60,000 spectators at the Diego-Maradona stadium.
Naples is second on equal points (6 pts) with the leader, AC Milan, winner the day before Torino (4-1) at San Siro.
