At the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, Napoli beat Sassuolo 6-1 THE NEWS in the recovery of the 21st matchday of the Serie A championship
Sassuolo – Naples
Calzona looks ahead with optimism after an effort that was certainly not complicated. “By playing well – he said – it’s easier to reach the goals. I’m happy for the boys. Every training session we improved. We gave a good response, good at reacting after their advantage. I believe in our possible comeback to conquer the Champions League zone. Victor he just needed to get back into his rhythm, same thing as Kvara. Our fans showed up in Reggio as if we were first in the standings.” What a worse debut in Serie A could it be for Emilia Bigica: “We found a strong team – he said for 25 minutes we played a good match. Now let’s think about Sunday’s match in Verona which is of great importance for us. We must regain serenity and all give more”. The only happy note to cling to is Berardi’s return to the bench. “He guaranteed me a piece of the match in case it was needed. He will be there in Verona.”

Sassuolo – Naples
RESULTS
CLASSIFICATION
Sassuolo – Naples
Napoli mercilessly tramples what remains of this Sassuolo which was hit by hurricane Osimhen, author of a hat-trick, ready to exploit the gifts of the Emilians who are increasingly in free fall. Osimhen’s hat-trick, Kvaratskhelia’s brace, Napoli thus catches up with Lazio and approaches Sunday’s big match against Juve at the Maradona with many more certainties. The one in Reggio Emilia, however, was almost a match without history for Calzona’s team, except in those initial minutes in which Sassuolo dared, taking the lead through Racic. But as soon as they were teased, Napoli reacted by showering their opponents with goals. There’s too much difference on the pitch. And Bigica, the unfortunate Bigica, called up three days ago after Dionisi’s dismissal, did very little to transform a team almost resigned to relegation. The only positive note of the evening is that Berardi is back on the bench, after a month out due to injury. Napoli’s first strike with the former Traorè who tries to volley it from the edge of the area, with an assist from Di Lorenzo. The home team averts the danger.
Soccer: Serie A; Sassuolo – Naples
Napoli again in the 14th minute. Ferrari takes care of anticipating Osimhen served by Mario Rui. Despite the guests’ initial dominance, Sassuolo took the surprise lead. In the 17th minute Pedersen puts it in the middle from the right, Pinamonti is anticipated by Traorè who clears towards the edge of the area. Racic bursts in and angles his shot well and scores his first goal in Serie A. Sassuolo’s defense resisted for about ten minutes before falling disastrously, when Di Lorenzo launched Anguissà in depth who back-heeled Rrahmani who couldn’t make a mistake two steps from the goal. Two minutes pass, Napoli take the lead: Di Lorenzo again serves Politano this time on the right side, assist for Osimhen who scores and goes to celebrate under the curve that hosts the Neapolitan fans.
Victor Osimhen
The match actually ends in the 41st minute with a wrong support coming out of Henrique, Politano who takes advantage of the gift and serves Osimhen who beats Consigli with a certain ease. Napoli’s merits are evident, but Sassuolo’s defensive phase continues to be inadequate for the category. A concept that was reiterated at the start of the second half when Osimhen scored his personal hat trick. Tressoldi’s start from low is unwatchable as he passes the ball to Kvaratskhelia, who serves Osimhen who scores with a wisp of gas. Napoli rightly does not slow down its action and finds the fifth goal. Kvaratskhelia wins the ball and passes Henrique and scores Consigli from the edge.
Victor Osimhen
The Georgian is still the protagonist and after a corner he ends up finding Volpato in his path. On the rebound ‘Kvara’ scores from a favorable position. Sassuolo, after Bigica’s nightmare debut, remains at the bottom arm in arm with Verona and Cagliari and on Sunday will have to visit Verona itself in an already decisive match. For Napoli, three important points, which allow them to rekindle their European dreams.
