Official resumption of Serie A this Saturday afternoon with the return of the defending champion of Napoli. The players of French coach Rudi Garcia, newly appointed on the bench, were to travel to Lazio to face the promoted from Frosinone. Despite the opening of the scoring on a penalty from Abdou Harroui (7th) for a foul by Jens Cadjus, the Neapolitans were able to reverse the trend with the equalizer from Matteo Politano (24th). Giacomo Raspadori’s achievement was canceled for an offside position (37th). But the Nigerian star, Victor Osimhen opened his counter by allowing Naples to take the lead before the break (42nd) with an overpowered shot under the bar. He then offered himself a double in the second half to lock in his success (1-3).
In the other meeting of the afternoon, Empoli welcomed, on the lawn of its Carlo-Castellani stadium, Hellas Verona. After a disjointed and unexciting first period, the Gialloblu managed to open the scoring with a goal from Federico Bonazzoli (75th), the only goal of the game. Yet announced close to relegation, the Veronese of Marco Baroni pocketed three precious points against the men of Paolo Zanetti (0-1). Next weekend, Rudi Garcia’s Napoli will host Sassuolo in Campania, who will face Atalanta tomorrow. As for the promoted Frosinone, they will go to Bergamo to challenge the Dea. Empoli will play against Monza, Verona will challenge AS Roma on the second day of the Italian championship.
