Napoli claimed the Italian Super Cup with a commanding 2-0 victory over Bologna in Riyadh, thanks to two sensational goals from Brazilian forward David Neres.
The first, a curling strike reminiscent of Alex Del Piero, showcased Neres’ exquisite technique. The second, a precise finish after recovering the ball in the six-yard box, demonstrated his sharp pressing and tactical awareness under Antonio Conte.
In a match where Bologna struggled to cope with Napoli’s relentless high press, the Azzurri created numerous chances, with Hojlund and Elmas coming close on multiple occasions. Goalkeeper Ravaglia kept Bologna in the game but couldn’t stop the decisive second goal.
Conte praised Neres’ performance, especially the second goal, highlighting the effectiveness of his team’s aggressive pressing. Napoli lifted the Super Cup for the first time in eleven years, marking Conte’s 10th career trophy and cementing Napoli’s dominance in Italian football.
Despite Bologna’s valiant effort and historic run to two finals in six months, Napoli’s combination of attacking flair, solid defense, and tactical discipline proved unstoppable.
David Neres stole the show, scoring twice while also contributing defensively, proving why he’s a key figure in Napoli’s championship-winning side.
Final Score: Napoli 2-0 Bologna
Goals: David Neres (38’, 56’)
