Dimarco gave Napoli keeper Alex Meret little chance. He curled the ball straight into the top left corner of the Partenopei goal.

This was the first time that a played had scored a direct free kick with their left foot since the renaming of the Stadio San Paolo to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

However, Dimarco then had to come off with an injury in the second half.
