The frighteningly good Georgian Kvaratskhelia and the killer Osimhen! See how the devilish Naples swept away another rival
Napoli have been absolutely uncompromising in the current season and that’s mainly due to the pair of Khvich Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen. But of course, the rest of the team is also playing great, contributing in no small amount to the goals that the Italian team is currently scoring in abundance. Sassuolo have now taken their rampage.
Napoli have been absolutely uncompromising in the current season and that’s mainly due to the pair of Khvich Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen. But of course, the rest of the team is also playing great, contributing in no small amount to the goals that the Italian team is currently scoring in abundance. Sassuolo have now taken their rampage.
The Dinamo Batumi prodigy, who cost Napoli only 10 million, needed only 4 minutes to find Victor Osimhen, who had already managed to get his head around the ball and open the scoring.
Then in the 19th minute, the collaboration between Kvaratskhelia and the Nigerian striker worked again, when Osimhen received a precise pass and with an uncompromising shot increased the score to 2: 0.
In the 36th minute, it was Kvaratskhelia himself who ran onto a great centre by Mario Rui and made no mistake. The score of 3: 0 lasted until the end of the first half.
In the second half, Napoli allowed their opponents to breathe a little and were not as dominant. However, they still increased their lead to the final 4: 0 in the 77th minute when Osimhen scored a hat-trick.
The Lagos native had been labored for about a month with a muscle injury and for that reason played only 10 games, but the 8 goals scored confirm the quality of this 23-year-old striker.
Napoli have consolidated their leading position with 32 points after 12 matches. In addition, it boasts a record of 30: 9. Saturday’s game was its 13th win in a row.
Coach Luciano Spalletti’s team is thus well on course to win the league title, which the club last won in the 1989/90 season.
However, they will face tough opponents in their next two games, first visiting Anfield to face Liverpool in the Champions League and then travelling to Bergamo to challenge Atalanta.
