Napoli lost at home to Como (1-2) this Saturday during the 2nd day of Serie A. The Neapolitans had started their match perfectly thanks to Rasmus Højlund. In the 17th minute, the Danish striker took advantage of a serve from Amir Rrahmani to give his team the advantage and put the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in turmoil.

But Naples was unable to maintain this advantage. Tomáš Douvikas quickly put Como back in the game in the 30th minute, well served by Martin Baturina, before allowing the visitors to take the lead for good a few minutes later. Trailing 2-1 from the 34th minute, Napoli never managed to reverse the trend and thus conceded their first defeat of the season at home. For its part, Como signed a great operation and left with three precious points.
