The 8th day of Serie A ended this Sunday evening with one last confrontation before the international break. Napoli hosted Fiorentina on this occasion. After a frustrating defeat at home against Real Madrid (2-3), the Partenopei were able to confirm their return to business against the Florentines to return to the leading teams in the Italian championship. If the visitors opened the score very quickly through Josip Brekalo then dominated the entire first period, Victor Osimhen was brought down by the Fio goalkeeper in the opposing area before converting the award in the process.

However, the Florentines stood out after the break thanks to their captain Giacomo Bonaventura (63rd, 1-2) then Nicolas Gonzalez at the very end of the match (90th +3, 1-3). With this victory, Fiorentina gets back in front of its evening opponent and returns to 4th place, at the foot of the Serie A podium, before the international break. After the latter, Naples will have to return to the path of victory against Hellas Verona then Union Berlin in the Champions League to avoid completely sinking.
