Napoli and Antonio Conte did not start well in Serie A - the former champion of Italy was defeated tonight in the 1st round, away from Verona 3:0.
Last week, the Neapolitans only eliminated Modena in the Cup after a penalty, and tonight they suffered an unpleasant defeat in the championship, and it is obvious that Conte has a lot of work ahead of him.
Napoli was a much better opponent in the first half - the guests had the initiative on the field, and missed the best opportunities in the first half when Lobotka and Kvaracheli were inaccurate.
Kvaracheli got injured at the end of the first part, which is why he had to leave the game.
In the first half, Verona did not come close to the rival's goal, but in the second half they were much better. The home team scored from the first chance - Livramento used Lazović's assist in the 50th minute to beat Meret.
After conceding a goal, Napoli had a good chance, but Anigsa hit the crossbar.
He made it 2:0 in the 75th minute by Mosker, who received the ball after an assist from Duda and sent it into the bottom left corner of Napoli's goalkeeper.
Moskera was the man of the match - he scored another goal in stoppage time to set the final score.
And Bologna and Udinese played a draw at the start of the championship - 1:1.
Bologna was the first to reach the goal, and the scorer was Orsolini from the penalty spot in the 57th minute.
Udinese also had a penalty, but Tovan was inaccurate in the 68th minute. Skorupski defended, sent the ball into the corner, after which the visitors, however, equalized. The shooter was Gianetti.
After a turnaround, Lazio defeated Venice in Rome - 3:1.
The guests at "Olimpik" took the lead in the third minute through Andersen, but Lazio turned the score around before going to the break, and the scorers were Kasteljanos and Zakanji from the penalty spot.
