In a match counting for the 21st day of Serie A, Naples traveled to Sassuolo this Wednesday evening. Already out of the race to succeed to his own crown, the reigning Italian champion, hoped to redo the cherry against an opponent fighting for his survival in the Italian elite and thus stay in contact with European places . If the match started very badly for Calzona’s men following the opener from Racic (17th), they were quick to rectify the situation through Rrahmani (29th).

Behind, the Nigerian allowed the Neapolitan club to take off by scoring twice in the space of ten minutes (31st, 41st). Returning from the locker room, the former Mastiff scorer added a third goal to his credit (47th) before Kvaratskhelia, scorer of a double, took part in the party (51st, 75th). Having gotten off to a bad start, Naples managed to turn things around to claim a resounding victory (6-1) and end a series of three matches in a row without success in the league. In the standings, the Partenopei are only four points behind 6th place while Sassuolo, beaten for the 5th time in 6 meetings, is sinking a little further into the red zone.
