Napoli secured their third consecutive victory with a 4-0 win over Cagliari, thanks to a strong partnership between Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The duo both scored and assisted each other throughout the match. Lukaku, making his first start for Antonio Conte’s side following a dazzling debut off the bench against Parma, linked up effectively with Kvaratskhelia, who had recovered from an ankle knock to start.
Napoli opened the scoring through Giovanni Di Lorenzo, whose shot was deflected off Yerry Mina, causing the ball to wrong-foot Cagliari goalkeeper Simone Scuffet.
The game experienced a brief interruption after 25 minutes due to crowd disturbances between Napoli and Cagliari supporters, but play resumed after a seven-minute delay.
Napoli doubled their lead in the second half when Lukaku played Kvaratskhelia through, and the Georgian winger drilled his shot into the bottom corner. Shortly after, a mistake by Scuffet while playing out from the back allowed Kvaratskhelia to set up Lukaku for an easy finish from 12 yards.
Late in the match, Alessandro Buongiorno sealed the win with a header from a David Neres corner, completing Napoli’s dominant display.
