The fight between Stanislav Lobotka from Naples and Luke Modrič from AC Milan.
The reigning champion dropped to the second place, behind AC lagging behind the score. The third is AS Rome, who has 12 points on his account.
“Rossoners” had an excellent entry into the match, already in the 3rd minute the score was Alexis Sseelemaekers, who used the predatory penetration and exclusive pass from Christian Pulisic.
After half an hour the game was 2-0 for the home, they showed a successful combination and after passes Strahinju Pavlovič and Youssouf Fofan finished exactly Pulisic.

An important moment came after the break when the referee ordered a penalty kick after the foul of the home Pervis Estupiňán at Giovanni di Lorenz. After watching the video, the arbiter of the Ecuadorian representative excluded and the penalty was reduced by Kevin de Bruyne.
Naples pushed the opponent’s numerous advantage, in the end David Neres hit the link, but the guests did not see the settlement. Lobotka played almost the whole match for “partenopei”, the Slovak midfielder took turns only in the second minute of the extra time.
Sassuolo recorded the second this season’s victory when they triumphed on the home lawn over Udinese 3: 1. Fiorentina continues the unconvincing start to the league campaign;
The same applies to Hellas Verona, who lost on AS Rome 0: 2. In the line -up of Hellas, the Slovak representative Tomáš Suslov continues to be absent due to injury.
AS holds on the front positions of the table, of the five duels played in four cases succeeded. Lecce won at least a point for a 2: 2 draw with Bologna.
