Hardly any time to regroup, and Napoli already makes it 2-0: Lucca reaches a long pass before goalkeeper Pigliacelli and is brought down in the box. A clear penalty, which the former Udinese striker converts himself, scoring his first goal for the Azzurri and doubling the lead to 2-0.

In the 20th minute, Napoli narrowly misses a third goal through Beukema, who hits the post after an attacking move, with the goalkeeper already beaten. The woodwork denies Conte's men a third celebration, but the two-goal lead remains. The first seven minutes are enough to decide the match.
