Napoli concluded their first matchday of the championship with a clear 3‑0 victory against Frosinone, confirming the solidity of Massimiliano Allegri's team after an unconvincing start to the season. The Italian, who had lost his first match, has now reached 10 points, equalizing the standings with the Ciociari and Como and demonstrating that he is ready to compete for the top part of the group.
The match was dominated from the first minute. In the 4th minute the Italian was hit by a post from Hojlund, but Frosinone did not lose sight of the defense: in the 7th minute Di Lorenzo anticipated Kvernadze, who continued to create danger with Oyono and Calò. After a more balanced phase, in the 26th minute Hojlund passed Cittadini and earned a penalty, but Palmisani rejected it. VAR detected irregular positioning by the goalkeeper and ordered a replay, which saw De Bruyne wrong-foot the goalkeeper and score the first goal for Napoli.
The second goal came in the 13th minute when Lang received the ball from Hojlund and handed it to Di Lorenzo, who finished with a precise shot. Lang's goal confirmed Napoli's superiority, who continued to control the pace of the game. Before the break, Neres concluded a long progression with a shot from outside the goal, bringing the score to 3‑0.
Frosinone tried to react in the second half, but the Azzurri defense remained calm. Napoli managed possession and continued to look for space, with McTominay returning to the pitch after a break. The Scottish player had a scoring opportunity with a left-footed shot deflected by Palmisani, but was unable to find the net. Napoli closed the match with a third goal deep into injury time, when De Bruyne completed his personal brace, consolidating the 3‑0 victory.
With this victory, Napoli gained three important points and proved to be a formidable opponent. Allegri's team demonstrated that they have the ability to handle pressure and maintain control of the game, even when they are behind. The success against Frosinone is a positive sign for the rest of the season, with the team ready to continue its run towards the top of the table.
